CU Student Choice, the leading provider of higher education financing solutions to America’s credit unions, announced its student loan and refinance solutions will now be available to the members of Rize Credit Union (formerly SCE Credit Union; $1.26B assets; 80,460 members; Irwindale, Calif.). Rize is offering Student Choice’s undergraduate and graduate lines of credit, as well as student loan refinance.
 
“Access to education can change the trajectory of a family’s future,” said Jeanine Corpuz, Chief Lending Officer at Rize Credit Union. “By adding student loan and refinance solutions, we’re expanding access to responsible, transparent options that help our members pursue opportunity with confidence.”
 
"The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is resetting the student lending landscape,” said Scott Patterson, President and CEO of Student Choice. “By providing responsible, transparent student lending options and financial education, credit unions like Rize are reinforcing their role as advocates for members during a time of significant change and uncertainty.”
 
Student Choice enables credit unions of all sizes to make private education loans that are held on their own balance sheet. Since launching in 2008, the CUSO has helped 300+ partner credit unions originate nearly $5 billion in private education loans, assisting 135,000 families in the process.
