So glad I stumbled on this post! I used to use tuition.io, however, they just switched it to businesses only helping their employees pay, so personal use isn’t supported anymore. Boo! I just went to SLH, and the site seems a little glitch-y, but hopefully playing around more on it will help. Thanks for the recommendation!

I’m late to the party and to the drawing, but wanted to weigh in on DRBank.

They have great rates and beat out SoFi, Earnest, Payoff and Credible for a fixed rate. We just refi’d about $30K in student loans through them and the process was long, but not painful.

The application process is pretty much the same as the other lenders. I was surprised they beat Earnest with their data-driven rate process (disclosure: I have an Earnest loan also).

I highly recommend DRBank for student loans.

As an aside… I highly recommend Earnest for personal loans. They did come in way under other lender’s rates, so it worked for us there.

Or better yet – do both! Consolidate to pay less (if it makes sense for peoples’ situations) and then HUSTLE HUSTLE HUSTLE and get it knocked out! It’s kinda like when people say they saved money by using a coupon or something, only to then just go out and spend the difference anyways… gotta have both parts to count :)
