Learners sometimes confuse "refinance" with "finance" or "fund". "Finance" means to provide money for a purchase or project for the first time, while "refinance" means to replace an existing loan with a new one. It is also sometimes confused with "refund", which means to give money back.
Sinonimai
remortgage (Common in British English and usually used specifically for home loans, while "refinance" is broader and used more generally in finance.)
|
restructure (More formal and often used for changing debt terms without always taking out a completely new loan.)
Antonimai
maintain (To keep the current loan and its terms instead of replacing it with a new one.)
