I think it’s great to have products for doctors because we have an unusual trajectory where we have high earning potential, but don’t always qualify for much on paper.

Contact Laurel Road to discuss all eligible options.

  1. GradFin and Laurel Road are brands of KeyBank N.A.

  2. Members who met the requirement for federal student loan forgiveness through an Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plan or Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) qualified for an average of $117,437.48 in student loan forgiveness as of 04/15/2024.

  3. Member Name members get a 20.00% discount off the published annual membership rate for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (“PSLF”) or Income Driven Repayment (“IDR”) programs. The discount will apply to both Standard and Freedom Plus membership options and will automatically apply when the annual membership is charged. This discount is only available to current Member Name members, is non-transferable and cannot be applied to previous membership purchase(s). This discount cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with other offers; pricing and discount accurate as of June 27, 2024 and are subject to change or cancellation at any time and without notice

  4. To qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), you must be employed by a U.S. federal, state, local, or tribal government or not-for-profit organization (federal service includes U.S. military service); work full-time for that agency or organization; have Direct Loans (or consolidate other federal student loans into a Direct Loan); repay your loans under an income-driven repayment plan; and make 120 qualifying payments. For full program requirements, visit: https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/public-service.

  5. The 0.30% Member Name member interest rate discount is offered on new student loan refinance applications from active Member Name members. The Member Name discount is applied to your monthly payment and will be reflected in your billing statement. The Member Name member discount is only available at loan origination and at no other time, and will go into effect on the date the loan funds are disbursed. This offer cannot be combined with any other discounts from Laurel Road affiliated partners or employers.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. A 0.25% mortgage interest rate reduction (the “Rate Discount”) is available to borrowers that are an active Member Name member no less than five (5) days prior to closing. The Rate Discount cannot be combined with any other interest rate incentives or reductions, applies only to new Loan applications, may not be available for all products, and becomes effective at closing (if applicable). For fixed-rate mortgages, the Rate Discount will be reflected in the interest rate on the Promissory Note. For adjustable-rate mortgages (“ARMs”), the Rate Discount 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. Other restrictions may apply. Ask us for details.

  10. Only available to interns, residents, fellows, doctors, dentists, clinical professors, researchers, or managing physicians with a current license and a degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD), Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). Doctors and dentists that are not actively practicing are ineligible. Additional conditions and restrictions apply.

  11. A lender credit of up to $650 (the “Lender Credit”) is available to borrowers that are an active Member Name member no less than five (5) days prior to closing. The Lender Credit cannot exceed borrowers' actual costs to close, may be combined only with certain special purpose lender credits, applies only to new Loan applications, and becomes effective at closing (if applicable). Other conditions or restrictions may apply.
