Some education loan lenders offer a discount, benefit or repayment incentive to their borrowers. These benefits are designed as a reward for borrowers who exhibit positive payment behavior such as making on-time payments, not missing any payments, making payments using automatic debit, or using programs or tools that help borrowers prepare for repayment of loans.
When you choose Southwest as your federal loan provider, you can earn the following borrower benefit: 0.25 percentage point interest rate reduction for paying by automatic debit.
