View RatesSoFi loans are suitable for borrowers with higher interest student loans and with fair to excellent credit scores. Some borrowers with federally held loans may choose not to refinance in order to remain eligible for benefits applicable to federally held loans.
SoFi offers student loan refinancing with the following features:
Click “Find My Rate” on the SoFi website, answer a few questions, and have SoFi tell you if you’re qualified before you fill out a complete application.
SoFi shows you the rates and terms you can choose from. You can choose between a lower monthly payment, or paying off your loan faster and saving on total student loan interest.
You’ll upload screenshots of your information, and sign your paperwork electronically.
Within about 7 to 15 days, funding is sent to your current student loan servicer to pay off your loans. Your first loan payment on your SoFi loan is not due until 30 to 45 days after your previous loan is paid off.
To qualify for a loan from SoFi, you must meet certain requirements, including:
If you don’t meet the employment, credit score, or U.S. citizen or residency status requirements, you may still qualify if you have a cosigner who meets these requirements.
SoFi offers loans with repayment terms of 5, 7, 10, 15, or 20 years. When considering your loan term choose the monthly payment you can afford that still helps you pay off your loan as soon as possible.

View RatesFixed rates range from 4.49% APR to 9.99% APR with 0.25% autopay discount and 0.125% SoFi Plus discount. Variable rates range from 5.99% APR to 9.99% APR with 0.25% autopay discount and 0.125% SoFi Plus discount. Unless required to be lower to comply with applicable law, Variable Interest rates will never exceed 13.95% (the maximum rate for these loans).
SoFi rate ranges are current as of 11/30/24 and are subject to change at any time. Your actual rate will be within the range of rates listed above and will depend on the term you select, evaluation of your creditworthiness, income, presence of a co-signer and a variety of other factors. Lowest rates reserved for the most creditworthy borrowers.
For the SoFi variable-rate product, the variable interest rate for a given month is derived by adding a margin to the 30-day average SOFR index, published two business days preceding such calendar month, rounded up to the nearest one hundredth of one percent (0.01% or 0.0001). APRs for variable-rate loans may increase after origination if the SOFR index increases. You may pay more interest over the life of the loan if you refinance with an extended term.
Autopay Discount: The SoFi 0.25% autopay interest rate reduction requires you to agree to make monthly principal and interest payments by an automatic monthly deduction from a savings or checking account. This benefit will be removed during periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a savings or checking account. The benefit lowers your interest rate but does not change the amount of your monthly payment. This benefit is suspended during periods of deferment and forbearance. Autopay is not required to receive a loan from SoFi.
SoFi Plus Discount: To be eligible to receive an additional (0.125%) interest rate reduction on your Student Loan Refinancing (your "Loan") for enrolling in SoFi Plus, you must enroll in SoFi Plus within 30 days of Loan funding, either by receiving a Direct Deposit to your SoFi Checking and Savings account, or by paying the SoFi Plus Subscription Fee. Once eligible, you will receive this discount during periods in which you have received Direct Deposit to your SoFi Checking and Savings Account, or during periods in which SoFi successfully receives payment of the SoFi Plus Subscription Fee.
This discount lowers your interest rate but does not change the amount of your regular monthly payment. This discount will be removed during periods in which SoFi determines you have turned off Direct Deposit to your Checking and Savings account or in which you have not paid the SoFi Plus Subscription Fee. SoFi reserves the right to change or terminate this interest rate reduction offer for unenrolled participants at any time without notice. You are not required to enroll in Direct Deposit or to pay the SoFi Plus Subscription Fee to be eligible for Loan approval.
