Meritize is a new kind of academic lender founded on the principle that high-performing students are high-performing borrowers. Data confirms that students who do well in school also do well using credit responsibly and paying back loans on time.
We look beyond traditional credit scores and tap into student academic data to expand student lending opportunities that empower borrowers on the path to success.
For those who’ve proven their academic merit, a Meritize Loan can improve credit access even for students with thin credit profiles and those who may not have a cosigner.
