"Easy to use, quick, and supportive"
LendKey is super easy to navigate, quick to respond, and genuinely supportive whenever I've reached out with a query or needed assistance on their site. I decided to refinance my student loan with them again after having a great first experience with refinancing and consolidation. Much appreciated!

"Refinancing My Private Student Loans: A Frustrating Experience"
I tried to refinance my private student loans and got a decent rate of 4.49%, but it was only conditionally approved based on my income. I sent in my W2s, payslips, and an offer letter showing I made 8,000 more than what was needed for the loan. Plus, I had my dad as a cosigner.
They turned me down because they didn’t count my On-call stipend of 8,000. Even though my base pay plus location differential in the offer letter hit the threshold, my pay stubs showed a measly $78 shortfall for the year. With a six-figure income, it felt ridiculous that they were going to deny me over a tiny $78 gap while ignoring the guaranteed $8,000 from my on-call work.
I thought, no biggie, I’ll just send over pay stubs from my part-time gig at Target to cover that $78. But they shot that down too.
Looking back, I’ve come to realize that LendKey isn’t a real lender like ELFI or RISLA. This felt like a classic bait and switch, pulling you in only to hit you with worse terms. If this is how they run their approval process, I can only imagine what shady practices await those who actually get approved. My advice? Stay away from LendKey.

"The interest rate is fantastic and the clarity is great!"
I'm really into the low interest rate and how straightforward everything is. Lendkey was my saving grace when I was dealing with crazy student loan interest rates. Not only did I secure a rate I can handle, but I also have just one monthly payment that fits my budget.

"Excellent Support from Customer Service"
I've had a fantastic time dealing with LendKey's support team. That said, I struggle a bit to find info on my upcoming payments and their amounts, which makes it tough to plan my budget without having to call in.

"Awesome Choice"
I decided to refinance my student loans through LendKey, and I’m super pleased with the outcome. I managed to secure a fixed lower interest rate, combine my private and federal loans, and I did everything right from my phone. The highlight is that I got to reduce my payment plan by 5 years thanks to LendKey.

"Look for loans elsewhere"
I've never experienced a loan where my balance actually increases after I make payments. I've always been on time with my payments and started them right when I was supposed to... this is honestly the worst spot to get cash. Seriously, just find another place!!!
