1. A $550 cash bonus offered on new student loan refinance applications from active Member Name readers. The loan application must close in order to qualify for the bonus which will be paid within 45 days of closing. Existing Laurel Road members are not eligible. This offer cannot be combined with any other discounts from Laurel Road affiliated partners or employers nor the Student Loan Refer-a-Friend Program.

2. Checking your rate with Laurel Road only requires a soft credit pull, which will not affect your credit score. To proceed with an application, a hard credit pull will be required, which may affect your credit score.

3. 0.80% discount includes a 0.55% discount for monthly qualifying direct deposits of $7500 or more credited to a Laurel Road Linked Checking account, and a 0.25% discount for AutoPay.

   Deposit accounts are only available for U.S. Citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents, at least 18 years of age.

   The Laurel Road Linked Checking discount is available to borrowers who open a Laurel Road Linked Checking account simultaneously while refinancing their student loans with Laurel Road. You may also be able to utilize a checking account opened simultaneously with a prior Laurel Road student loan refinance to obtain a discount on your new Laurel Road student loan refinance. Borrowers will receive a 0.25% rate discount for their first three monthly billing cycles. Starting with the fourth billing cycle and continuing with each billing cycle thereafter, the rate discount applied to each billing cycle will be based on the amount deposited via qualifying Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions into the Laurel Road Linked Checking account during the preceding calendar month; 0.25% for deposits between $2,500 and $7,499 per month and 0.55% for deposits $7,500 or greater per month. Qualifying ACH direct deposit transactions include most payroll, Social Security, pension and government benefits deposits. To continue to receive the discount for the fourth billing cycle, you must begin making qualifying ACH deposits to your Laurel Road Linked Checking account during the second month after your loan funds. Note that the discount is only available to the primary checking account owner and is not available to a joint checking account owner. If the primary account owner is no longer an owner on the checking account or the account is closed, the discount on their student loan will cease. Discounts subject to change without notice and cannot be combined with the Laurel Road Linked Savings discount.

   If you choose to make monthly payments automatically by electronic fund transfer (EFT) from a bank account, the rate will decrease by 0.25% and will increase back if you stop making monthly payments (or we stop accepting) automatically by EFT from your bank account. The 0.25% AutoPay/EFT Discount will not reduce the monthly payment; instead, the discount is applied to the principal to help pay the loan down faster.

4. After loan disbursement, if a borrower documents a qualifying economic hardship, we may agree in our discretion to allow for forbearance of payments for one or more 3-month time periods (however, a minimum of twelve (12) months are required between any two forbearance periods). Borrowers with a loan term of at least ten (10) years are eligible for up to twelve (12) months of forbearance over the life of the loan; borrowers with a loan term less than ten (10) years are eligible for one (1) month for every year of the loan term (e.g., if a borrower’s loan term is five (5) years they are eligible for up to five (5) months of forbearance over the life of the loan). Borrowers seeking an economic hardship forbearance due to unemployment must have made twelve (12) consecutive monthly payments prior to a forbearance request to be eligible. For any other forbearance due to economic hardship, borrowers must have made nine (9) consecutive monthly payments prior to a forbearance request to be eligible. All requests for forbearance are subject to review, including the review of acceptable documentation (including updating documentation) of the nature and expected duration of the borrower's economic hardship. During any period of forbearance, interest will continue to accrue. Unless otherwise noted, at the end of the forbearance period, any unpaid accrued interest will be capitalized and be added to the remaining principal amount of the loan.

5. AutoPay / EFT Discount: If you choose to make monthly payments automatically by electronic fund transfer (EFT) from a bank account, the rate will decrease by 0.25% and will increase back if you stop making monthly payments (or we stop accepting) automatically by EFT from your bank account. The 0.25% AutoPay/EFT Discount will not reduce the monthly payment; instead, the discount is applied to the principal to help pay the loan down faster.

6. You will earn 2.0% in Cashback Rewards for each $1 spent on eligible Purchases if you redeem your Cashback Rewards towards your Student Loan with an eligible servicer. This equates to $0.02 in Cashback Rewards, for each $1 spent. For example, if you spend $100, you will earn $2.00 in Student Loan Credit. You will earn 1.0% in Cashback Rewards for each $1 spent on eligible Purchases if redeemed for a statement credit. This equates to $0.01 in Cashback Rewards, for each $1 spent.

9. To receive relationship benefits on a new KeyBank mortgage loan, which provides a 0.25% interest rate reduction, you must have owned a Relationship Account at any time during the mortgage loan application process, but no later than seven (7) business days prior to the closing of the mortgage loan. This Interest rate reduction is available on new KeyBank mortgage loan applications only. As an alternative to the relationship benefit, you may obtain a 0.25% interest rate reduction if you complete and submit, no later than seven (7) business days prior to the closing of the mortgage loan, the Monthly Automatic Payment form to have your recurring mortgage payment for your KeyBank mortgage loan automatically deducted from a Laurel Road branded checking account or an “Eligible KeyBank Consumer Checking Account.”

   Refer to the Monthly Automatic Payment form for more details. For fixed-rate mortgages, the 0.25% interest rate reduction will be reflected in the interest rate on the Promissory Note. For adjustable-rate mortgages (“ARMs”), the 0.25% interest rate reduction will apply to the initial fixed interest rate period and will be reflected in the maximum amount the interest rate can increase of the term of the loan, subject to the minimum interest rate that may be charged per the terms of the Promissory Note or Agreement. “Relationship Account” means (A) an open Eligible KeyBank Consumer Checking Account with five (5) or more Qualifying Transactions posted to a single Eligible KeyBank Consumer Checking Account in a calendar month, which may not be aggregated across other accounts you own, OR (B) an open Key Private Bank Checking or Key Private Bank Personal Checking account. An “Eligible KeyBank Consumer Checking Account” means: any KeyBank consumer checking account designated as a personal checking account by KeyBank, including KeyBank’s Hassle-Free checking account, but excluding a health savings account and Laurel Road branded deposit accounts. “Qualifying Transactions” include, but are not limited to, point of sale transactions, bill payment(s), ATM transactions, check, cash or direct deposits, and electronic funds transfers. Qualifying Transactions exclude adjustments, advances, reversals, refunds, account to account transfers, person-to-person transfers, interest, service charges, and service fees. Qualifying Transactions must be completed at least three (3) business days prior to application to be eligible for inclusion in determining whether you met the “Relationship Account” portion of the “Bank with Key” criteria.

Other terms, conditions, and/or limitations may apply. Contact KeyBank Home Lending for more details. Interest rate discount may not be available for all products.
