Lend-Grow Student Loans Review

Lend-Grow’s unique selling point is that it is a marketplace lender that gives you access to banks and credit unions that you might not otherwise be aware of. The marketplace allows you to compare hundreds of different student loan providers. Also, Lend-Grow only partners with lenders who do not charge prepayment fees or application fees.

Whilst Lend-Grow does not currently partner with the most prominent student loan companies in the US, there are enough companies offered for you to consider using Lend-Grow’s marketplace for your student loan funding.

Lend-Grow Student Loans Terms & Requirements

As Lend-Grow is a marketplace lender, there can be slight differences between the terms and requirements of each partner lender. However, the following terms are consistent amongst all of Lend-Grow’s partner lenders:

  • Must be a US citizen or permanent resident
  • Must have a minimum credit score of 650
  • Must be able to display consistent income streams
  • Must be enrolled in an eligible degree-awarding school

Loans offered have the following terms:

  • Fixed interest rates from 2.89%
  • Variable interest rates from 2.75%
  • Can borrow between $25,000 and $500,000
  • Loans are for 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 years

Sure, the terms vary between partner lenders, but the general terms offered are pretty good. While the lowest rates will only apply to those with excellent credit, it is worth seeing what Lend-Grow’s marketplace can provide you with if you are looking for student loan funding.

How to Apply

Lend-Grow advertises that you can get your rate within two minutes, so we decided to put that to the test. We visited Lend-Grow’s website and selected “Check My Rate” to get started. Doing so gave us the available options for the type of loan required.

Step 2

Fill in your personal details and information

We wanted to see rates for student loans, so we chose the personal loan option. We were then given the following form to complete.

After completing this form, we were given the different loan options available to us. These options were competitive, and we chose the one we wanted to proceed with. At this point, we left the Lend-Grow website and went directly to the lender’s website. The lender will ask some more questions, and you may be required to submit proof of ID and income directly to the lender.

Using Lend-Grow to give the funding options was quick and easy, and the rates returned were excellent. If you are happy to shop around for your student loan funding and don’t necessarily need to use a large financial institution, Lend-Grow is worth considering.

Required Information

Any information or documentation required is provided to the direct lender, not Lend-Grow. Requirements vary from lender partner to lender partner, but at a minimum, you will need to provide proof of the following:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Social Security Number
  • Date of birth
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Monthly income details
  • Proof of income
  • Employment history
  • Housing status and monthly commitments
  • Bank account details

Are there limits to who can use Lend-Grow?

Yes, Lend-Grow’s website states it is limited to 10,000 customers for student loan refinancing.

Customer Support

As a marketplace lender, Lend-Grow is not involved in servicing loans. Therefore, the customer service offered by Lend-Grow is limited. You can contact Lend-Grow via email, but any further contact should be directly with the lender, with your contact details taken from your loan confirmation offer.

Still, we emailed the financial marketplace to ask whether there were any geographical restrictions that Lend-Grow put in place. We received a reply the following day, which is about average to an email turnaround. Full customer details for Lend-Grow are shown below.

Privacy & Security

Lend-Grow’s privacy policy states that the marketplace only shares user information with the lenders in its network and other service providers.

It is advised to research the lender you’re connected with through Lend-Grow’s marketplace before completing the final application. That way, you can ensure you receive the best quality and best-matched service.

In Conclusion

Lend-Grow is an interesting new challenger in the student loan market – the financial marketplace truly offers something different for anyone wanting a student loan. Lend-Grow brings lesser-known banks and credit unions to the forefront, so if you are someone that would prefer to borrow from a local company than a multinational financial institution, Lend-Grow could be an excellent option for you.
