Consolidation tips:
Three ways to bring
your interest rate
even lower
- Apply with a creditworthy cosigner. You may apply to have the cosigner released from liability after the first 48 initial, consecutive principal and interest payments are made on time. You must meet credit criteria on your own at that time.3
- Set up automatic payment withdrawals. You can lower your interest rate by .25%.4
- Use a SunTrust account for automatic payment withdrawal and save another .25% on your interest rate.4
