debt refinancing
Replacing old loans
Debt refinancing is replacing an existing loan or bond with a new one, typically to secure better terms—a lower interest rate, reduced monthly payments, or an extended repayment period.
Homeowners refinance mortgages when rates drop; companies refinance corporate debt to improve cash flow.
They refinanced their student loans to lock in a fixed rate.
Refinancing may involve fees that offset potential savings.
