Borrowing $20,000 at 5.97% accrues $3,182.63 in interest during a 5-year repayment term. These monthly payments and accrued interests are for illustration purposes only. If approved for a loan, the variable interest rate offered will depend on your credit history and the Credit Union’s underwriting standards. Variable rates from 5.97% – 9.53% APR (with AutoPay). Rate is variable and subject to change. Interest rates on variable rate loans are capped at 18.00%. Lowest variable rate of APR assumes current 90-Day SOFR Average rate of 5.370% plus 1.100% margin and subtracting the 0.25% AutoPay discount and the 0.25% Graduate School discount. For the variable rate loan, the 90-Day SOFR Average index will adjust quarterly and the loan payment will be re-amortized and may change quarterly. APRs for variable rate loans may increase after origination if the SOFR index increases. The above figures assume no changes in the SOFR index, no pre-payments, no additions to the loan principal, and all payments made in a timely manner over the life of the loan. For further information on rates and costs for the Variable Rate Student Loan Refinance, see the Application Truth in Lending Disclosure.

Fixed Rate: 5.49% annual percentage rate (APR) effective 10.3.2024. 60 monthly payments of $19.10 per $1,000 borrowed. Borrowing $20,000 at 5.49% accrues $2,915.86 in interest during the 5-year repayment term. These monthly payments and accrued interests are for illustration purposes only. If approved for a loan, the fixed interest rate offered will depend on your credit history and the Credit Union’s underwriting standards. Lowest fixed rate of 5.49% assumes enrollment in AutoPay and includes the 0.25% Graduate School discount. For further information on rates and costs for the Fixed Rate Student Loan Consolidation and Refinance, see the Application Truth in Lending Disclosure.

AutoPay is a voluntary repayment benefit managed by USC Credit Union that awards a 0.25% interest rate reduction to borrowers that elect to have their monthly payments electronically deducted from a designated checking account. To be eligible for the interest rate reduction for automatic payments, you must be signed up for automatic payments through USC Credit Union. If at any time automatic payments are stopped or the loan is not in good standing, the rate discount will not be applied.

For all loans with a Fixed APR: Monthly payments are calculated with the original loan rate and will not be reduced by the discounted rate.

For all loans with a Variable APR: The rate stated on this agreement is based on the rate at the time of loan funding. The index will adjust as stated in your loan agreement resulting in a rate change and new monthly payment.
