Legal

Residency and Relocation Loans are funded by Fifth Third Bank.

¹ The release of a cosigner is at the sole discretion of Sallie Mae. The borrower must have a satisfactory history of making principal and interest payments and meet underwriting guidelines when the request for cosigner release is processed. The borrower's account must remain current until the request for release is processed and the borrower must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident at the time the cosigner release is processed.

² The automatic debit benefit is available for as long as the borrower's monthly payment amount is successfully deducted from the borrower's bank account. Borrowers can elect to make payments via automatic debit through Sallie Mae's online account management system. This benefit lowers the borrower's interest rate but does not change the amount of the monthly payment. This benefit is suspended during periods of forbearance and certain deferments.

Borrower benefit information is valid as of October 25, 2011.
