There are many reasons why people choose to refinance. Lenders rarely reward customers for being loyal, so it’s a good idea to regularly check to see if there is a better-suited loan for you. Some benefits can include:
Interest rates regularly change. Is yours still competitive? If you have a variable rate, or your fixed-rate is due to expire, you may be able to negotiate a lower rate with your lender, or find one that will.

Or, if you aren’t using features with your existing loan, switching to a more basic loan could save you in fees.
