Häufige Fragen
Can I repay early?
Usually yes, with no penalty, which saves interest.
What about income-based plans?
They set payments from income rather than a fixed term.
Tipps
- A shorter term costs less overall even if the payment is higher.
- Check the APR, not just the rate, to compare fairly.
