All rates will be the same, look for borrower benefits and customer service. Sallie Mae is bad on both. Sorry gang.

Usually one of your existing lenders will offer you the most favorable terms. However, you need to shop around and see who offers the best deals. Lenders will offer you cash back, lower monthly payments, and other incentives so compare what lenders are offering you.

Definitely check with citibank first, then I’d also recommend checking out some of the following sites: – big student lender – get up to four competing offers, no obligation – student loans and consolidations – student loans and consolidations

Also, try – they might have a rate comparison where you can see all of the incentives and interest rates side-by-side.

Good luck!

I refinanced all of my loans through Sallie Mae and have have a very good experience with them including a website that is very easy to use.

You’re going to hate my answer but….

The best bank through which to consolidate students is the one that will give you the lowest interest rate and who will actually approve your loan. This is really something you need to research yourself. The best bank for me or anyone else will most likely not be the best bank for you because our credit reports are different.

I had a friend who was a financial aid representative and she suggested Sally Mae.
