Definitions»Lenders: The lenders are banks, credit unions, savings and loan institutions, and insurance companies who participate in FFELP are eligible to provide funds for federally sponsored education loans. The lender is the holder of the loan. Your lender may sell your loan to a secondary market; however, the terms and conditions of your loan remain the same. Servicer: The Servicers are institutions contracted by lenders to perform loan origination, due diligence, and/or collection and reporting functions on student loan portfolios for lenders. Servicers administer loans on behalf of lenders and secondary markets. |
