All the reviews on companies are fake. Their overall review for a company is based off the company paying for higher score. Just know those high score companies paid for that, they are nothing special... See more

Not a trustworthy company. I used their site to research student loan refi options and then turned to other sources to get a second opinion. Turns out, LendEDU has been misleading borrowers for years... See more

LendEDU is the only site you need to refinance!

There are an overwhelming number of options for refinancing student loans. It's a very daunting task that I prolonged for months trying to compare each lender. I applied to refinance my student loans within a week of joining LendEDU- all of the necessary information is all in one place!

LendEdu Keeps You Informed

LendEdu is a great place to go to get unbiased information about student loan debt, the cost of borrowing and the current interest rates on student loans. The marketplace provides student loan debt holders with a great way to lower their interest rate and get out from under their debt. Not to mention you can be an informed borrower since you can see the interest rate from multiple lenders without hurting your credit score.

The refinancing options are not any better than my current loans, and the information is not transparent enough. Unfortunately, it makes no sense for me to consolidate my loans at this time. I was really hoping for a better interest rate.

LendEDU showed me the light at the end of the tunnel. I was drowning in student loan debt then they showed up with a lifeboat and a warm blanket. The website was easy to navigate and with the help of their customer service team, I saved a lot of money refinancing. I can't thank them enough and would recommend to anyone!

a must for every self-supporting student

Lend.EDU makes understanding my loans easy. I recommend it to every student paying for school themselves. I've saved so much money and I read every article of their blog to learn more about personal finance. Highly recommend!!

LendEDU Should Be Your First Stop for Refinancing Your Loans

There are a lot of options available when it comes to refinancing your student loans. Rather than spending hours researching all the different options, go to LendEDU's website where you can apply and get quotes from multiple companies. It's fast, it's effective, and it will save you money.I highly recommend it.

Super Efficient

Very quick and easy way to get the best rates on your student loans. That staff was very attentive, and gave great advice once they understood my loan situation. They have the best refinancing options out there, and it has saved me tons on my payments!

It worked fine for me

Simple site to use. I was happy that I got to see at least three different quotes.

I thought the slider tool was pretty easy to use. Probably my favorite feature being able to adjust my monthly payment and rate.

Overall, I would recommend to a friend with private student debt.

Quick and easy

I had learned about this site through the newspaper. Like many young adults my age, I was buried in student loan debt with what seemed like no end in sight. This process was easy to complete. It was quick, direct, and easy to navigate. When I had questions I received timely responses. I'm incredibly grateful I did this!

Game Changer

A close friend of mine recently told me about her terrific experience with LendEdu. She told me that they saved her considerable money when refinancing her college loan. Since I have some pretty hefty loans myself, I thought I would give them a try. Honestly I didn't know much about the process, I only know how much I pay each month. Luckily I got hooked up with Tom Flynn who walked me through the process and answered all my questions and calmed my fears. After a very short time, he was able to set me up with a much better rate than I was paying. The total savings on my loan will be over $12,500!!! I will use the extra money each month to help with my car payments - big help. The process was so easy and I am so grateful to Tom and LendEdu. Thanks so much to helping me get my finances under control and saving me some serious money.
