WE INVEST IN YOU BASED ON YOUR ACADEMICS, AND THAT SETS US APART.
We invest in you and your potential. We don't think you should be judged by someone else's credit score. We emphasize your grades and the college you're attending to determine if you qualify for a loan. An existing credit history will impact your approval and rates and may be required in certain cases.
WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?
Choose the Right Rates for You - Fixed or Variable
Loans are based primarily on you and your academic record.**
FIXED RATE
Fixed Rates range from 6.890% to 9.890% (6.455% to 9.029% APR). With fixed rates you make the same payment every month. But since your rate is set and starts out higher than variable rates, you may end up paying more over the life of your loan. Rates subject to change.
VARIABLE RATE
Variable Rates currently range from 6.650% to 9.933% (6.243% to 9.065% APR).*** Over time variable rates can fluctuate and payments can change up or down based on market rate changes. Rates subject to change.
Two Repayment Options with you in Mind
And you can move between them during your Academic Deferment Period.
EARLY NOMINAL FIXED PAYMENTS
Pay a fixed $20 a month during academic enrollment plus the first six months after graduation or being enrolled less than half-time (up to 60 months). Paying on time may help you establish a positive credit file.****
FULL DEFERMENT
Defer payments entirely during academic enrollment plus the first six months after graduation or being enrolled less than half-time (up to 60 months).
Other Specifics About Our Loan

There's no obligation to take the Sixup loan if you qualify.

Instead of just looking at outdated FICO scores (which is what most private banks do), our credit model starts with your academics and other factors and predicts student outcomes through our unique algorithm.

If you have a credit history, it will impact both your loan approval and your rate (such as having at least a 600 credit score).*****

Sixup loan amounts range between a minimum of $2,500 (above $3,000 for Georgia residents and at least $5,000 for California residents) and a maximum of $15,000 in any school year, and are capped at a lifetime aggregate loan amount of $60,000 from Sixup or $100,000 from all sources for multiple years.

* Unless you are under the age of majority (typically 18) or due to your credit history if you have one, or in certain cases based on the level of your academic and other factors.

** If you have a credit history, it will be considered in your loan approval and your rate, and some students may need a positive credit history. Existing indebtedness is also considered.

*** Variable rates are based on our margin of 4.12-8.12% plus the three-month LIBOR rate (a standard interest rate index), so that range is subject to change on a quarterly basis. The rate will never exceed 9.933% during the life of the loan.

**** For a $10,000 loan, assuming you make 54 payments of $20 a month for an academic deferment period of 48 months of school plus 6 months, you will then make 120 monthly payments of $176.35, paying a total of $22,242.00, assuming the highest possible starting rate of 9.933% (9.224% APR) (subject to change).

***** Certain students may have high enough academic and other factors to be considered for potential loan approval but not high enough where they don't also need a positive credit report, and certain students may require a higher credit score than 600. Only one Consumer Reporting Agency is used to provide credit reports, so you may have a higher score or different information with one we don't use.

Additional terms and conditions apply in accordance with other disclosures and agreements. These specifics are also subject to change.
