Transcript;

Moderator: Mr. Chairman, we have another question online from Craig Caulfield. Seven years on from the Banking Royal Commission, a key recommendation from Commissioner Hayne has not been enacted. A national scheme for farm debt mediation would be a win-win for both banks and farmers, simplifying muddy and complex laws differing between states. Will the Chair and the CEO lobby to undertake to genuinely introduce a national farm debt mediation scheme via the ABA? Do you agree our farmers need to be respected, and form a growth opportunity for Westpac to pick up some turf from NAB and CBA?

Anthony Miller: I certainly agree with you that the agricultural sector, the farming community, is a tremendous opportunity, and we are looking to grow. I think our growth in the loan book in the agricultural sector last year was in the order of 22%, so we are very focused on what we can do there. In terms of that legacy outcome from the Hayne Royal Commission, I will take that on notice. What we’re very focused on is making sure that we partner really well with the farming customers that we have and working with them to make sure that their financing structure is such that it’s sustainable through the cycle and through particular challenges like drought and other that gets in the way.

So, I think we’ve got that right, and I think what you’re seeing in the marketplace in terms of how active and competitive it is in the agricultural sector, that actually it is right and we are getting the balance right as an industry. I will take on notice that question around farm debt mediation and where we are as an industry post the Royal Commission.
Steven Gregg: I think it is important to note that you rightly say it should be done via the ABA, so why don’t we touch base through that forum? Thank you.

00:00 – Would SoFi be good for credit card consolidation?
00:45 – Pro: No fees
01:15 – Pro: Interest rate discounts
01:29 – Pro: They will pay off your other debts directly
02:05 – Pro: High loan amounts
02:39 – Pro: They accept cosigners
03:17 – Con: Why SoFi might not be the lender for you
03:39 – How to shop for the best deal
04:10 – Summary

So, what are the pros to SoFi’s credit card debt consolidation loans?

The first pro is that SoFi doesn’t charge any extra fees. And I really mean no fees, even the fees that would be reasonable and expected. Miraculously, they don’t charge late fees if you are past-due on a payment. You also won’t be squeezed throughout the life of the loan by account maintenance fees or NSF fees. And they don’t charge an origination fee at the start of your loan. This means that the entire cost of borrowing from SoFi will be found in their interest rate. It’s important to point out that an origination fee is represented in the APR. The APR would be the interest rate plus the origination fee. Origination fees don’t get reimbursed if you pay the loan off early. Because SoFi doesn’t have an origination fee, you would be rewarded for paying the loan back early.

SoFi also offers a couple of discounts that can save money on the interest rate. You can save .25% if you sign up for autopay and you can save an additional .25% if you use direct deposit into a SoFi bank account.

Another good thing about SoFi for credit card debt consolidation is that they will pay your credit cards off for you directly. This is convenient, but there’s another reason why I think it is really important: it shows that they are aware that the debt consolidation loan is meant to replace other debts and not stack on top of them. So, it should mean that it is easier for you to clear their debt-to-income ratio thresholds. In short, it should be easier to be approved compared to a lender that does not offer direct pay off, especially if you have substantial credit card debt.

And if do you have substantial credit card debt, SoFi might be one of the few lenders who will lend you enough money to consolidate all of it. Their maximum loan amount is $100,000. Few of us would have that much credit card debt, but if you do, SoFi is one of only a couple of companies that could help you. If you have more than $50,000 in credit card debt, I would suggest that you word directly with a certified debt counselor with a non-profit to explore the strategies that would be best for you.

Another good thing about SoFi is that they accept cosigners on their loans. A cosigner would be responsible to pay back the loan if you fail to. If you can qualify for a debt consolidation loan and get the best rate on your own, there is little reason to entangle your spouse or loved-one in the process. But, adding a cosigner can help you get approved if you otherwise wouldn’t have been. They can also help you qualify for a higher loan amount or a lower APR. This is especially true if your cosigner’s credit score is better, debt-to-income ratio is lower, or income is higher.

So, what are the cons to SoFi’s credit card debt consolidation loans?

There’s not much negative to say about SoFi, but let me tell you why SoFi might not be the lender for you. Only people with good to excellent credit and decent incomes will qualify for a SoFi credit card debt consolidation loan. If you are in that category, great. But there are a lot of people who will not be able to land a SoFi loan.

?????Let’s talk about debt consolidation.

TL;DR – Debt consolidation is a way to put all your debts into one place.

There are pros and cons to this.

????Pros: Everything will be consolidated into one loan, you’ll only need to make one monthly payment, you can lower your interest rate, and simply your finances.

????Cons: An extended payment plan may mean more interest paid over time, your credit score may be negatively impacted, it’s not a one-size-fits all solution.

????Last, be careful, some companies are predatory and may try to take advantage of vulnerable people.

????To stay educated on your debt management – download the MUCH app today to get started on your journey to financial freedom. We can help you figure out a debt payoff framework that will work for you to help you pay down your debt faster.
