Used numerous loan companies over the years for student loans and this has to be the worse company. Friendly customer service however they lack the knowledge to solve customer issues. Questionable underwriting practices and guidelines that seem to change depending on who the underwriters is working your file. Took a month and half from first application to approval, which is unacceptable in today’s loan market.

The website is hard to navigate and there are so many steps, but I get that it's an issue of legislation, not so much about the company itself.

The process to co-sign was smooth and my first year college child was able to navigate, ask questions, and receive support.

I will rate my experience with your company a 10. When I needed a loan for granddaughter you have been outstanding. I would definitely recommend to my family and friends

The process was very user friendly and different options were given. Everything went very easy and smooth. Notifications were given for everything to know what needed to be done and where the process was.

The process couldn’t have been easier as everything was online. There was some delay and some confusion in the loan disbursement but other than that it was a good experience.

Borrowing "locally" is the only choice for the average private borrower, I think. The rates and terms were superior to all the SoFi's on the market. Over the last 3 falls we've taken out 4 private loans for our daughters. Phil is the primary on these loans with our girls the secondary. The process wasn't hard. I hate that we have to borrow, but that's not your fault- so in a situation that sucks, you guys have always made it suck less.
