FAQ

Common questions about Midbench.

No — checking your rate uses a soft pull, which has zero impact on your credit score. If you like your offer and accept the final terms, a hard inquiry will appear on your report. That typically lowers your score by just 5–10 points, and the effect fades within a few months. Most borrowers see a net benefit because refinancing can reduce their overall debt cost.
Checking your rate takes about 90 seconds — most of your details are pulled in automatically after connecting your accounts. If you decide to continue, Midbench handles verification, payment setup, and lender payoff with no paperwork to mail and no branch visit.
You link a bank account during onboarding and authorize recurring auto-debit. Your monthly payment is pulled automatically on schedule. You can also make additional payments at any time — there are no restrictions and no penalties.
Midbench does not charge fees — no origination fee, no administrative fee, no prepayment penalty. Your rate, term, and full disclosures are presented upfront before you accept.
After you complete signing and your refinance closes, Midbench coordinates payoff to your existing lender. You do not need to manage that handoff yourself.
Yes. You can make additional payments at any time with no prepayment penalty, which helps reduce the balance faster.
Interest accrues to the minute, not daily or monthly like most auto loans. That means you never pay a full day’s interest when your payment arrives partway through the day — interest stops the moment your payment is processed. This also means every extra payment saves you money immediately.
Midbench automates loan servicing, record-keeping, and payment distribution through software instead of layers of third-party intermediaries. This removes overhead that traditional lenders pass on to borrowers, which is how Midbench can offer competitive rates with zero fees.
