Is it a hard hit to apply for your financing?
Hard Hit - A hard hit, or a "hard pull," occurs when you apply for a new line of credit, such as a credit card or loan. It means that a creditor has requested to look at your credit file to determine how much risk you pose as a borrower. Hard inquiries show up on your credit report and can affect your credit score.
Skybound: It is a hard hit to apply through Skybound.
Climb: It is not a hard hit to apply through Climb. A hard hit will occur once the loan is funded though.
Is a co-borrower required?
It is not required to have a Co-Borrower through Skybound or Climb, but it is highly recommended! Through Skybound, the co-borrower can be relieved of liability after 72 months of on-time payments.
Do I have to pay the loan while I’m in school? Will Interest still accrue if there is a deferment period?
Skybound: No payments due until 60 days after graduation, and interest does not accrue during this deferment period. 60 days after graduation, your payments for principal and interest will begin, with a minimum payment of $50.
Climb: Payments are required upon receiving the loan, so you will have to make payments during school.
What does the financing cover?
Is there an origination fee?
Origination Fee - An origination fee is typically a percentage of the loan amount and is charged by a lender as compensation for processing a loan application.
Skybound: Has a 1% origination fee, and can be rolled into the loan amount.
Climb: The origination fee is variable, but standard is 5% and can be rolled into the loan amount.
What are the typical loan terms?
Skybound: Terms for Skybound go up to 20 years, but can be shorter upon request.
