What is the relationship between CommonBond and Fifth Third?
Fifth Third Bank has teamed up with CommonBond, a leading student lender, to help Fifth Third customers refinance their student loans. Fifth Third Bank may refer customers to CommonBond, but is not the creditor for the loans. Compensation for such referrals may be paid by CommonBond to Fifth Third Bank if the referral results in new business for CommonBond.
Does taking out a loan with CommonBond mean I have a loan with Fifth Third?
Your loan will be with CommonBond, not Fifth Third, so at this time your loan will not be visible within any Fifth Third account dashboard. However, CommonBond’s Customer Care Team will be here to assist you with your account and answer all questions! You can contact us by calling +1-858-348-8946 between the hours of 9 AM – 8 PM EST, Monday-Friday; and 9 AM - 5 PM EST, Saturday and Sunday.
How can CommonBond offer lower interest rates than my current student loans?
In many instances, your original student loans were either at a single, universal rate provided by the government or from a private lender at a time where you likely had minimal credit history or income. CommonBond gives you an interest rate based on your current credit history and income, which allows us to offer a lower rate in many instances. Please note: Rates and terms are subject to credit qualifications.
How do I know if refinancing is right for me?
When you refinance, your old loans are paid off and combined into one, simple loan. You might consider refinancing if you are eligible for a lower interest rate, want to decrease your monthly payments, or switch from a fixed-rate loan to a variable-rate loan or vice versa. We can refinance federal, private, and previously consolidated loans.
