The following are qualifying accounts: any checking account, savings account, money market account, certificate of deposit, automobile loan, home equity loan, home equity line of credit, mortgage, credit card account or other student loans owned by Citizens Bank, N.A. Please note, our checking and savings account options are only available in the following states: CT, DC, DE, FL, MA, MD, MI, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, VA and VT and some products may have an associated cost.

Discount is not available when payments are not due, such as during forbearance.

6 Federal Loan vs. Private Loan Benefits: Some federal student loans include unique benefits that the borrower may not receive with a private student loan, some of which we do not offer with the Education Refinance Loan or Education Refinance Loan for Parents. Borrowers should carefully review their current benefits, especially if they work in public service, are in the military, are considering possible loan forgiveness options, are currently on or considering incomebased repayment options or are concerned about a steady source of future income and would want to lower their payments at some time in the future. When the borrower refinances, they waive any current and potential future benefits of their federal loans and replace those with the benefits of the Education Refinance Loan. For more information about federal student loan benefits and federal loan consolidation, visit http://studentaid.ed.gov/. We also have several resources available to help the borrower make a decision at http://www.citizensbank.com/EdRefinance, including Should I Refinance My Student Loans? and our FAQs. Should I Refinance My Student Loans? includes a comparison of federal and private student loan benefits that we encourage the borrower to review.
7 Medical residency or fellow program loans will have a $100 monthly payment immediately after loan disbursement during the residency or fellow program period, up to 4 years. Medical Residency Refinance Loan Repayment Example: Based on a 48 month residency, a fixed rate 5 year loan for $10,000 at 4.00% APR results in 54 monthly payments of $100 during grace and residency periods, followed by 60 monthly payments of $113.14.
8 Student Checking: At least one account holder must be under 25 years old. Account will switch to One Deposit Checking from Citizens when all account owners are age 25 or older. The Student Checking account does not come with standard overdraft coverage. So, if you don’t have sufficient available funds in your account to cover a withdrawal, it will be declined and, in the case of checks, bill payments and ACH transactions, the item will be returned unpaid. While Student Checking is designed to prevent overdrafts, there may be times when your account could have a negative balance. This could happen if a purchase you make is approved for one amount, but the final charge is more than your available balance. For example, when you use your debit card at a restaurant and then add a tip. The final amount could result in a negative balance. If a transaction results in a negative balance on your account, we will not charge you an Overdraft Fee. Student Checking accounts are not eligible for Debit Card Overdraft Coverage.
