- The AMA $100 cash bonus is offered for medical school loan applications from active AMA members. The loan application must close in order to qualify for the bonus. Cash bonus will be paid within 60 days of closing. Offer cannot be combined with other Laurel Road offers, including the Referral Program and any other AMA member offer. Existing customers are not eligible.
- FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL LOANS ONLY. Following graduation from an eligible medical school and subject to lender's review of supporting documentation, you may elect to defer monthly payments while enrolled in a medical residency or medical fellowship program (up to a maximum of four (4) years). Interest will continue to accrue on the outstanding principal balance of your loan during the Medical Residency Deferment and you will not be eligible for an AutoPay discount during such time. Interest that accrues and remains unpaid will be added to the principal balance at the end of the Medical Residency Deferment period.
THIS IS NOT A FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN. The terms of this product may differ from terms available with a federal student loan. For example, this product does not contain special features such as income-based repayment plans. Also deferment, forbearance options, and loan forgiveness options may differ from those available for federal student loans, and privately-funded student loans are not eligible to be included in a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan. For more information about Federal student loan programs, please visit https://studentloans.gov. - The 0.25% AMA member rate discount is offered for applications from AMA members in good standing. The rate discount will end if AMA notifies Laurel Road that borrower is no longer in good standing. Offer cannot be combined with other offers, including the Referral Program.
- The 0.25% Automatic Payment discount will not reduce the monthly payment; instead, the discount is applied to the principal to help pay the loan down faster.
- Laurel Road is offering up to $1650 in lender's credit towards mortgage closing costs for applications from AMA members in good standing. A $1000 credit will be applied at application and up to $650 can be earned as a "Reward". Credits cannot exceed applicant's actual costs to close. Offer cannot be combined with other offers. More information on “Rewards” see the Mortgage Rewards Program below.
- 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.
†Fixed Rate Resident Interview Loan Repayment Examples:
| Term (years) | APR | Monthly Payment |
| 6 (4 years reduced payment period and 2 years full repayment) | 9.07% | 48 months of $25 |
| 24 months of $590.41 | ||
| 7 (4 years reduced payment period and 3 years full repayment) | 9.15% | 48 months of $25 |
| 36 months of $412.83 | ||
| 7 (5 years reduced payment period and 2 years full repayment) | 8.84% | 60 months of $25 |
| 24 months of $622.66 |
Borrowers are eligible to make $25 monthly payments during their residency training for a minimum of 48 months up to 60 months ("Residency Period"). These payments may not be enough to cover all of the interest that accrues on the loan. Once the Residency Period ends, any unpaid accrued interest will be added to the loan principal and monthly payments of principal and interest will begin.
All repayment examples assume a loan amount of $10,000 accruing at an annual simple interest rate of 9.99%, which includes a 0.25% AMA Member Discount. The APRs do not include any discount for making automatic payments from a checking or savings account. A borrower's actual rate and payment amount may vary, and is determined by the product, term, loan amount, and your credit qualifications. Example APRs are offered as of May 6, 2019 and subject to change.
Note: The interest rate is higher than the APR because the APR considers the effects of the period of Reduced Payment.

The most cost effective and efficient tasks lead to the greatest amount of points. When you close your mortgage, the total amount of points earned are awarded and then converted into a lender credit. The dollar amount of the lender credit is then applied toward eligible non-recurring closing costs or disclosed fees.
