Got your education loan approved? Congratulations! You have crossed one of the biggest bottlenecks of the study abroad journey. The loan approval certainly eases the financial stress; however, the repayment will also be upon you after studies, and what if we say that there is an easy way to trim down your repayment after studies. Loan transfer, also known as education loan refinancing, can help you pay your existing education loan with a new study loan with a lesser rate of interest. 
 

When you take an abroad education loan, you may settle for a loan at a higher interest rate as it is solving your current financial needs, and also your financial history is yet not sturdy enough. But once you complete your course and you get a job, you build your financial record and can then be easily eligible for an education loan at a lower interest rate. Though you are not going to study further, you can do a loan transfer and shorten down the monthly and overall financial burden. Several government and private lenders in India offer loan transfer facilities. In this blog, we would talk about the education loan refinancing scheme of one of the largest banks in India- the State Bank of India. SBI's loan transfer product is known as SBI Takeover of Education Loans.

 

Without further ado, let's explore the features, eligibility criteria, required documents, and other details of the SBI Takeover of Education Loans Scheme.
