.article__image { visibility: hidden; display: none; } Is Earnest the Choose Your Own Adventure of student loan refinancing? Maybe. The company gives borrowers an unusual degree of autonomy, including the ability to switch between variable and fixed rates at no charge, skip one payment per year and set their own payment amounts and loan terms.
