When we ran the numbers on refinancing trends at Earnest, one stat stood out: 👉 Only 10% of eligible borrowers who could save money by refinancing their loans actually do refinance. That’s a huge missed opportunity for potential savings — but also a signal about how people make financial choices. What’s really behind the hesitation? Read the scoop: https://lnkd.in/gtdGRHvt

At Earnest, we're redefining what private student loans should feel like: transparent, flexible, and made for real life—whether that means covering tuition, rent, or the last 3 credits you need to graduate on time. This isn’t your parents’ lender. It’s student loans, reimagined for today’s students. 🎬 Commercial: https://lnkd.in/g-JPraU2 Earnest Private Student Loans are made by One American Bank, Member FDIC, or FinWise Bank, Member FDIC.

Just dropped a new episode with Nick Norcross, Chief Product Officer at Earnest, where the mission is bold and clear: make higher education accessible and affordable for everyone. We covered everything from designing better tools for student borrowers to building product teams that solve real financial pain points. And of course, we talked AI — where it helps, where to be cautious, and how the Earnest team is using it to free up brainspace for the hard stuff. 👉 Listen here for the full episode: https://lnkd.in/gBcp7RPJ
