Another way to help pay down your loan
Join Upromise ® from Sallie Mae where your everyday spending
can help reduce your Sallie Mae student loan balance. With
Upromise Loan Link ®, it's easy. Your Upromise savings
balances of at least $25 can be automatically transferred
to a Sallie Mae-serviced student loan account on a quarterly
basis. Not all loans are eligible. To learn if your loan is
eligible for Upromise Loan Link, or to register, visit Upromise.com.5
- Borrow as much as you need to pay for your education,
up to the cost of attendance as certified by your school
and confirmed by Sallie Mae, less other financial aid received.
Sallie Mae reserves the right to approve a lower loan amount
than what the school has certified.
- The release of a cosigner is at the sole discretion of
Sallie Mae. The borrower must have a satisfactory history
of making principal and interest payments, meet age of majority
requirements and meet underwriting requirements when the
request for cosigner release is processed. The borrower’s
account must remain current until the request for release
is processed and the borrower must be a U.S. citizen or
permanent resident at the time the cosigner release
is processed.
- The automatic debit benefit is available for as long
as the borrower’s monthly payment amount is successfully
deducted from the designated bank account. Borrowers can
elect to make payments via automatic debit through Sallie
Mae’s online account management system. This benefit
lowers the borrower’s interest rate but does not change
the amount of the monthly payment. This benefit is suspended
during periods of forbearance and certain deferments.
