What you can refinance
ithinkfi refinances auto, home, and personal loans from any lender, with fixed rates and no prepayment penalties on any of them.
Refinancing replaces your existing loan with a new ithinkfi loan, which pays off the old lender directly. You keep the same car or home, and you can choose the outcome that matters most to you: a lower rate, a smaller monthly payment, or a shorter payoff timeline.
Every refinance is fixed rate, so your payment stays predictable, and there are no prepayment penalties on any ithinkfi refinanced loan.
| Loan Type | What You Can Lower | Term Options | Prepayment Penalty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auto loans from any lender | Rate or monthly payment | 12-60 months | None |
| Home mortgages | Rate, payment, or term | 15 or 30 years | None |
| Personal loans | Rate or payment | 12-60 months | None |
When refinancing makes sense
Refinancing makes sense when your credit has improved, market rates have dropped, or you want to pay off a loan faster.
The clearest case is a lower rate: if your credit score has improved since you borrowed, or if current rates sit below your original rate, a refinance can cut your total interest cost. A second common case is a lower monthly payment, achieved by extending the term or combining a better rate with a new term.
Before committing, compare the interest you will save with the closing costs on the new loan. The ithinkfi refinance calculator shows the break-even point for your specific numbers, and prequalification does not affect your credit score.

We refinanced two company vehicles with ithinkfi and the combined savings came to more than $140 a month. No fees, no prepayment penalties, and a decision the same week.
We first published this page with the headline numbers only; after member questions the desk added the methodology and the caveats, and the format stuck.
This guide does NOT cover trusts, institutional funds and non-resident files, which run through separate desks.

Costs and fees
ithinkfi refinancing has no application fees, no origination fees, and no prepayment penalties.
Auto and personal loan refinances at ithinkfi carry no application or origination fees. Home mortgage refinances include standard third-party costs such as title and recording fees, which are itemized in the loan estimate before you commit to anything.
Every cost is disclosed in writing before signing, and nothing is charged unless the refinance closes. Review the pricing overview for the full fee schedule, or call 800-873-5100 with questions.
Refinancing vs modification
Refinancing replaces your loan with a new loan at new terms, while a modification changes the terms of your existing loan.
These two options are often confused. A refinance pays off the old loan and issues a new one, which requires a full application and credit review. A modification keeps the original loan in place and adjusts terms such as the payment amount or due date, typically in response to a temporary hardship.
| Aspect | Refinancing | Modification |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | New loan replaces the old one | Existing loan terms are amended |
| Review | Full application and credit review | Lighter review based on hardship |
| Goal | Better rate, payment, or term | Temporary payment relief |
| At ithinkfi | Auto, home, and personal loans | By request during hardship via 800-873-5100 |
