Debt

Refinancing

In plain English

Swapping an old loan for a new one with better terms. Usually a lower interest rate.

The analogy

It's trading in your old phone plan for a cheaper one with the same service.

Why it matters to you

On big debts like student loans, a lower rate can save you thousands over the life of the loan.
