Account Authorizations
To ensure the privacy of our customers, we will not release account specific information to anyone other than the borrower, a co-signer, endorser, or an authorized third party.

- Obtain loan information on your behalf, via phone or email.

NOTE: There are different types of POA. The information above applies only to those who have been granted full POA privileges.
When you applied for your student loans, you provided contact information for references. If your address or phone number becomes invalid and we can't reach you, we may contact these references to obtain your contact information. If you need to change your references, please contact us.
NOTE: References are not automatically granted access to your account information. However, you may authorize us to release loan information to these parties (See Authorized Third Party).
