Lending giants U.S. Bank and JPMorgan Chase recently announced they had eliminated and reduced their private student lending programs, respectively. JPMorgan Chase will only make private student loans for existing customers.
Meanwhile, credit unions are demonstrating a strong commitment to helping students finance their education through private student loans, said New York City-based student lending vendor Fynanz, which provides credit unions with customized student lending programs and the cuStudentLoans private student loan marketplace. Fynanz, a CUNA Strategic Services alliance provider, has gained about 75 new credit union partners in the past year, bringing its total credit union partner number to more than 180.
"Private student lending has experienced significant change over the past several years," said Wes Millar, senior vice president for CUNA Strategic Services, a program jointly owned by CUNA and state credit union leagues. "Credit unions have created a strong foundation in student lending during this period and will remain steadfast in supporting students and families nationwide."
