Refinancing a personal loan can be an option when the current terms no longer fit budget or financial goals. This process involves taking out a new loan to pay off the existing one, replacing it with new terms. Some lenders refer to this as a "loan renewal".

Reasons for refinancing include getting a lower interest rate, changing the monthly payment amount, or adjusting the repayment timeline. Borrowing more money is also a possible reason.
