Release your cosigner and take care of your family

Did your parents cosign your loan? Are they feeling stressed about their financial obligation, unable to cosign a loan for a sibling, invest in their business or just retire?

They’ve taken care of you; now you have the opportunity to return the favor and give your family more freedom. When you refinance your loan with MPOWER, you’ll be able to pay off your home-country loan and release your cosigner and collateral.

Take advantage of employer matching to pay off your loan sooner

U.S. employers can make up to US$5,250 in student loan payments to an employee each year tax-free. But, only U.S. student loans like MPOWER's qualify. Refinancing is a win-win for you and your employer to pay off your loan sooner. Don't leave money on the table.

Frequently asked questions

Identification documents:

  • Upload a clear and valid copy of your passport or a government-issued photo ID from your country of citizenship.

Employment documents:

  • Provide a copy of your job offer letter.

The origination fee for refinancing is 6.50% of your loan amount. This fee isn’t paid upfront and is added to your loan balance at disbursement.

Example: If your disbursed loan amount is US $10,000, the origination fee would be US $650, which is 6.5% of US $10,000. Thus, your total loan amount would be US $10,650.

No, there is no prepayment penalty for paying off your refinanced student loan with MPOWER. You can make additional payments or pay off your loan early without incurring any extra fees.

You can lower your interest rate by setting up automatic recurring payments (auto pay) to receive a 0.25% discount on your interest rate. While negotiating the interest rate isn’t an option, enrolling in auto pay and consistently making on-time payments can significantly lower your overall borrowing costs over time.

If your MPOWER loan application was declined, you can reapply after a waiting period. Here are some important things to keep in mind:
Review the decline letter:

  • Understand the reasons: You will have received a detailed letter explaining why your application was declined. Review this letter to understand the reasons and identify any actions you can take.
  • Address the decline reasons: Before reapplying, address the issues mentioned in the decline letter. This can improve your chances of a successful application or help if you decide to request an appeal.

You can submit a new application 90 days after being declined. Please note that the loan decision may also remain unchanged if your circumstances have not changed.
