Convert Your Rate and Save

Interest rates are ever-changing, so we don’t think you should be stuck with the same rate forever. Unlike other lenders who require a lengthy and expensive refinancing process, we allow you to quickly convert your existing Rural 1st loan to a lower rate once a year.

What Is Loan Conversion?

A conversion is a change to your loan agreement—it’s not the same as refinancing. We can convert your loan to a lower rate, one time each year, for a small fee.* This change can save you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan, without extending your maturity date. Many customers can shorten their loan term by lowering their rate but keeping their payment the same.

Reach out to us today to learn more about loan conversion.

With a Loan Conversion You Can…

Avoid Expensive Refinancing Costs

Loan conversion has a small fee with no additional costs or hidden charges.*

Lower Your Loan Rate Without a Hassle

Our conversion program has less paperwork than the traditional loan refinance process.

Lock In Rates for a Long or Short Timeframe

Keeping an eye on rates? We have flexibility to lower interest rates, shorten terms and convert between adjustable and fixed rates.
