Thinking about being a cosigner?

Most undergraduate students will need a cosigner to take out a private student loan. If you’re thinking of cosigning a loan, here’s what to know:

👫 The cosigner is just as responsible for the debt as the student. Late payments or failure to make payments will affect your credit report, and you may become liable for the remaining debt on the student loan.

💸Some lenders offer “cosigner release” after a certain number of on-time payments, along with meeting income and credit requirements. Ask your lender if they offer cosigner release and what the requirements are.

📲 A good budget and good communication are key for borrowers and their cosigners. Talk to your student about how to budget for their student loan payments, and make sure your own budget can cover them if your student can’t pay.

❓Check out the Federal Trade Commission’s FAQs about being a cosigner: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/cosigning-loan-faqs
