One unique feature Climb has is that several of our loans involve initial, interest-only (“IO”) payments before full repayment begins. This means that your first months will consist of lower payments which include only the interest portion of your loans. This allows you to fully focus on the program you’re pursuing.
After that, the second portion of your loans consists of principal+interest (“PI”) payments, which include the remaining part of your loan. Also, with Climb loans, there is no prepayment penalty, so if you pay more than the minimum, you’ll ultimately pay less in interest.
