About LendKey

LendKey is transforming the $3.6 trillion consumer lending market by enabling the nation’s 13,000+ community financial institutions to enter and succeed in online lending. Their innovative technology matches consumers with not-for-profit credit unions and community banks to create the most transparent, accessible, and low-cost borrowing options in online lending.

Refinancing via LendKey.com is only available for applicants with qualified private education loans from an eligible institution. Loans that were used for exam preparation classes, including, but not limited to, loans for LSAT, MCAT, GMAT, and GRE preparation, are not eligible for refinancing with a lender via LendKey.com. If you currently have any of these exam preparation loans, you should not include them in an application to refinance your student loans on this website. Applicants must be either U.S. citizens or Permanent Residents in an eligible state to qualify for a loan. Certain membership requirements (including the opening of a share account and any applicable association fees in connection with membership) may apply in the event that an applicant wishes to accept a loan offer from a credit union lender. Lenders participating on LendKey.com reserve the right to modify or discontinue the products, terms, and benefits offered on this website at any time without notice.

1 The average savings was calculated by subtracting the estimated lifetime cost of the borrowers’ student loans refinanced with a lender via LendKey’s platform from the estimated lifetime cost of the borrowers’ existing student loans they had prior to refinancing. The weighted average savings calculation is based on the following assumptions: (1) The borrower’s loan term selected for the refinancing is the same as the term of his/her original loan; (2) A 0.25% interest rate reduction for enrolling in automatic payments (optional for borrowers); (3) On-time payments of all amounts that are due; and (4) A static interest rate (Note: variable interest rates may move lower or higher throughout the term of the loan).

2 Subject to floor rate and may require the automatic payments be made from a checking or savings account with the lender. The rate reduction will be removed and the rate will be increased by 0.25% upon any cancellation or failed collection attempt of the automatic payment and will be suspended during any period of deferment or forbearance. As a result, during the forbearance or suspension period, and/or if the automatic payment is canceled, any increase will take the form of higher payments.

3 Some lenders participating on LendKey.com may offer the benefit of cosigner release. Cosigner release is subject to lender approval. In order to qualify, the borrower, alone, must meet the following requirements: (1) Make the required number of consecutive, on-time full principal and interest payments as indicated in the borrower’s credit agreement during the repayment period (excluding interest-only payments) immediately prior to the request. Any period of forbearance will reset the repayment clock; (2) The account cannot be in delinquent status; (3) The borrower must provide proof of income indicating that he/she meets the income requirements and pass a credit review demonstrating that he/she has a satisfactory credit history and the ability to assume full responsibility of loan repayment; (4) No bankruptcies or foreclosures in the last sixty months; and (5) No loan defaults.

4 $300 PayDown Rewards® bonus will be paid out after your eligible LendKey loan has been applied for, approved and disbursed. Lenders are not responsible for PayDown Rewards.
