New Student Loan Refinancing Program Offers Peace Of Mind To Pennsylvania Bar Assoc. Members
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) August 27, 2015 -- USI Affinity is pleased to announce that they’ve partnered with SoFi—the second largest marketplace lender—to offer members of the Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA) the opportunity to consolidate and refinance their private and federal student loans into a single loan with a lower rate and lower monthly payment.
SoFi’s mission is to transform financial services in ways that have meaningful impact on high achieving professionals, particularly in the areas of student loan refinancing, mortgages, MBA loans and personal loans. That’s why the company created a unique approach to lending—offering graduates of thousands of accredited universities, including many law schools, the opportunity to reduce their student debt through student loan refinancing. SoFi borrowers save on average $14,000 over the lifetime of their loans.
Consolidating multiple student loans into a single loan with one lender, bill and monthly payment eliminates the hassle of juggling multiple loans and bills. The application takes about 10 minutes and there are no application, origination, or pre-payment fees. Borrowers can choose from a variety of terms and fixed or variable rate options.
After hearing requests from PBA members for this kind of program, PBA and USI Affinity sought and selected SoFi for its ability to serve the specific needs of legal professionals. In addition to its easy online application and stellar customer support team, SoFi offers its members unique benefits other lenders don’t offer such as Unemployment Protection, career support, the SoFi Members Network, and access to a host of other savings. If members apply through the PBA program website and refinance their loans with SoFi, they’ll qualify for a $300 welcome bonus.
“The PBA’s new student loan refinancing program, available in partnership with respected financial services providers, can assist PBA members who seek a more efficient way of reducing burdensome student loan debt,” said PBA President William H. Pugh V. “We are pleased to offer this innovative and valuable benefit in response to our members’ requests for help in building their careers in the legal profession and achieving financial stability.”
USI Affinity’s Mike Murphy, Chief Marketing Officer, said of the new partnership, “The best thing we can do for our clients and their members is to implement unique programs like SoFi that can help members avoid undue financial risk as they progress in their careers. SoFi is the first step in helping them build financial wellness, and we’re looking forward to the opportunity the program provides today and where we envision it to lead in the future.”
