Services
Private Student Loans
Nelnet Bank provides private student loans to bridge funding gaps when federal aid is insufficient. Our loans feature competitive rates, multiple term options, and a six-month grace period post-graduation. Borrowers benefit from flexible repayment choices including immediate, interest-only, or deferred payment plans.
Loan Refinancing
Our student loan refinancing service simplifies multiple loans into one monthly payment with potential interest rate savings. The program offers fixed and variable rate options across 5-15 year terms, helping borrowers potentially reduce monthly payments and total interest costs over the loan lifecycle.
Cosigner Release
This feature allows qualified borrowers to release their cosigner after meeting specific criteria. By requiring 24 consecutive on-time payments and demonstrating financial responsibility, borrowers can transition to sole ownership of their loan while building independent credit history.
Flexible Repayment
We offer three distinct repayment approaches to accommodate different financial situations. Borrowers can choose between immediate principal and interest payments, interest-only payments during school, or full deferment until after graduation, with terms ranging from 5 to 15 years.
Dedicated Service
Our support team provides personalized assistance through multiple channels including phone, email, and live chat. From application guidance to repayment management, borrowers receive expert help at every stage of their loan journey with real-time problem resolution capabilities.
