LendKey partners with hundreds of banks and credit unions. In turn, these financial institutions use LendKey’s digital platform to process the student loan and LendKey becomes the servicer. Working through LendKey you have access to two options - refinancing into a private loan or obtaining funding for a new private student loan. Because LendKey is introducing borrowers to numerous financial institutions, it allows the banks to compete for your business by offering the most competitive rates.

This parameter considers loan term lengths, loan limits, and loan structure optionality (fixed and variable rate offerings). For each loan type offered, each of these features was evaluated using the five-point scoring system. Then, the various scores were aggregated and averaged to establish an overall loan features score.

LendKey scores a near average 4.0 for Loan Features, which is reflective of standard term length offerings and highly flexible loan structure optionality (fixed vs. variable).
