A major private student-loan company is prepping for a 'significant expansion' due to Trump's repayment changes. Here's what it means for borrowers.
Briefly

President Trump's spending bill eliminated the SAVE plan and imposed new borrowing caps on graduate students. Under the changes, federal borrowing is limited to $100,000 for graduates and $200,000 for professional programs. This elimination could make private loans more appealing as federal options diminish. The CEO of Navient predicts an increase in borrowers seeking private refinancing options due to the end of the SAVE plan, which previously allowed for manageable payments and expedited debt relief.
