Loan Switching (refinancing)

⚠️ Think it over💰 Up to ₩1M+/yr in interest savings

A one-stop comparison to refinance existing loans at lower rates and cut interest.

💡 Just shaving 1% off your rate is ₩1M/yr on ₩100M — and from 2025 the early-repayment fee is halved too. Don't switch and you overpay that much every year.

What the ads say

Refinance your loan at a lower rate.

How it actually works

Credit loans (since May 2023), mortgages, and jeonse loans (since Jan 2024) can be compared across multiple lenders online and refinanced. Moving a ₩100M credit loan from 5% to 4% saves about ₩1M in interest a year. From 2025, the mortgage early-repayment fee was also halved (0.6-0.7%), lowering the bar to switching.

Traps

Good for

  • · Holders of credit, mortgage, or jeonse loans taken out during a high-rate period
  • · People whose existing loan rate is higher than current market rates

Not for

  • · People for whom the benefit is small once early-repayment fees and remaining term are weighed
  • · People who already borrowed at rock-bottom rates
