When is refinancing worth it?

When I review a refinancing offer, I put the remaining balance, the new fees and total repayment in one table. A lower payment does not win when the longer term raises the final amount.

Roman Dumitrescu, Head of Editorial

Refinancing means closing one or more existing loans with a new loan, usually at a lower rate or longer term, to reduce the monthly payment.

Consolidation combines several debts into one.

It's worth it if you get a lower APR than the average of your current loans, or if you want a single payment.

Compare the total cost, not just the monthly payment.

  • ✓Combine several loans into one payment
  • ✓Possibly a lower rate than your current loans
  • ✓Amounts from 10,000 to 200,000 lei
  • ✓Extended terms for a lower payment

Refinancing costs and the recovery threshold

Refinancing may aim to reduce total cost or make the monthly payment more manageable. These are different goals.

Check the old loan's closure amount and the new contract's costs, including valuation and insurance if required.

Compare schedules for the same amount; a lower APR does not guarantee a lower total if you extend the term.

For mortgages covered by OUG 52/2016, article 41, no penalty, compensation or other early-repayment charge applies. Check older contracts separately under article 135.

Dividing switching costs by the difference between monthly payments gives only a simplified recovery threshold. It does not prove total savings, particularly when the term changes.

Compare all remaining payments and the new financing costs; no universal number of months guarantees that refinancing is worthwhile.

Consolidation is a particular form of refinancing: you combine several loans (cards, IFNs, consumer loans) into one, usually at a bank, with a single total payment lower than the sum of individual ones.

Upsides: one due date, lower average interest (cards and IFNs are expensive), simple management.

Classic downside: if the new term is much longer, total cost can rise even though the payment drops. Always check total cost, not just monthly payment.
