LendKey and Payitoff Join Forces to Help Federal Student Loan Borrowers Lower Payments

Vince Passione

In a continuing effort to help student loan borrowers, LendKey, the pioneer of digital network lending, is excited to announce their latest partnership with Payitoff, a leader in consumer debt guidance tools. The collaboration introduces a free and user-friendly tool designed to help federal student loan borrowers save significantly on their federal student loan payments.

The innovative Federal Student Loan Optimizer tool, powered by Payitoff, allows borrowers to input their federal loan information, even if they are unsure about their servicer details. By considering various factors such as income, other debts, dependents, and more, Payitoff provides personalized recommendations for federal income-driven repayment plans. This empowers borrowers to choose the best plan based on their unique circumstances, leading to potential monthly savings on average of $240, and without sacrificing federal loan benefits.

This partnership provides an easy-to-use solution for managing student loan debt and helping lower those monthly payments. Borrowers can access the information through LendKey’s Federal Student Loan Optimizer, a tool designed to support anyone with federal student debt, irrespective of their ability or willingness to refinance.

Vince Passione, CEO of LendKey, emphasized, “As the CARES Act sunsets, it has created uncertainty for millions of borrowers. LendKey and Payitoff have come together to offer this tool to not only educate federal student loan borrowers on their options, but also help them to achieve financial stability more quickly.”

The Federal Student Loan Optimizer guides borrowers through a simple process:

1. Learn who is servicing their federal student loans by entering their phone number, date of birth, and zip code.
2. Link federal loan accounts to receive automated guidance on federal assistance program eligibility.
3. Receive individualized repayment plan recommendations considering factors such as income, family size, and amount owed.
4. Enroll in federal assistance programs such as income-driven repayment.

​“We all know the challenges the student loan payment resumption has caused, and will continue to cause, for student loan borrowers,” stated Bobby Matson, CEO of Payitoff. “Partnering with companies like LendKey allows us to help borrowers easily see all their repayment options, and significantly reduce monthly payments. We’re excited by the possibilities this partnership provides.”
