Payment Options
Pay upfront
Want to pay upfront? Awesome! Circuit Stream accepts wire transfers and credit card payments.
Loan with Climb Credit
Paying for education isn’t one-size-fits-all. Climb offers several payment methods, so students can make tuition payments for as low as $250/mo (with a 7.99% interest) in the way that works best for them.
*Annual percentage rates (“APRs”) on Climb loans range from 0.00%–26.47%. Interest rate caps may be lower in some states due to state requirements. APRs are charged for borrowing and are expressed as a percentage that represents the actual yearly cost of funds over the term of a loan. The APR includes a 5% origination fee, where permissible.
