Introducing the New SallieMae.com: The Saving, Planning, and Paying for College Destination for Students and Families

Sallie Mae’s New Website is a One-Stop Digital Destination for
Free Tools, Resources, and Information to Help Families Make College
Happen

New Site Makes it Easier Than Ever for Sallie Mae Customers to
Manage Their Accounts

NEWARK, Del.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sallie Mae, the nation’s saving, planning, and paying for college
company, has officially rolled out the new SallieMae.com.
Students and families who may need money for college and want to explore
their options, or who are just looking for information on how to get
started, now have a one-stop digital destination full of tips, tools,
and guidance on everything they need to make college happen.

Whether students and families are saving, planning, or paying for
college, the new SallieMae.com
is the resource to help them on that journey. The site allows families
to compare
college savings plans, learn how other families are saving
for college, and explore Sallie Mae savings
products. In addition, families planning for college can create a
financial plan using the College
Planning Calculator, find scholarships with the Sallie Mae Scholarship
Search, and learn about various financial aid topics, including
completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),
analyzing financial aid award
letters, and understanding and managing credit.

For families new to student loans, the new SallieMae.com
starts with the basics.
It provides clear and concise information on what to consider when
borrowing and how to do so responsibly. Through clearly spelled-out
benefits and considerations, the site talks to families about the
differences between federal and private student loans and how to find
the student loan that best meets their needs. The site also provides
information and strategies on how to control and manage total student
debt.

For Sallie Mae customers, the new SallieMae.com
makes it easier than ever to manage accounts and find information on
topics ranging from tax
benefits to cosigner
release. The site also provides a simple, straightforward, and
seamless application process for students and families.

“From apps to access, consumers today demand digital experiences that
are fast, efficient, and easy to use,” said Charlie Rocha, executive
vice president and chief marketing officer, Sallie Mae. “The new SallieMae.com
combines innovation with expertise that can help students and families
navigate the road to higher education no matter where they are in the
saving, planning, and paying for college process.”

The new SallieMae.com
is part of the company’s continued commitment to the customer
experience. Earlier this month, Sallie Mae unveiled a new mobile app —
available for iPhone
and Android
— to help customers manage their accounts and make payments from
smartphones. Access to loan information, including current balance,
total amount due, interest rate, and payment history, plus the ability
to make loan payments, are now all at a customer’s fingertips.

The company is also investing millions to enhance multiple aspects of
the customer experience from application through repayment. All
servicing for students, families, and schools is provided by
professionals based in the United States. Sallie Mae has also introduced new
products to help families save for college, launched initiatives
that encourage families to plan for college, conducted research on how
families save
and pay
for college, partnered
to create materials
to help families understand and manage credit, and continued to offer
competitive private education loans for students
and now parents
to cover any gaps in college financing.
