Student Lender Recognized for Growing Impact on
Higher Education Accessibility and Affordability
Earnest, a leading fintech company on a mission to make higher
education affordable for all, has been honored on CNBC’s list of
the World’s Top FinTech Companies of 2024, which is co-presented by
Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking
provider.
“From our recent survey, we know that 92% of recent college
grads would have done college differently if they’d understood the
total amount of money they’d owe – something we’re out to change,”
said David Green, CEO of Earnest. The survey revealed that given
their debt after graduating, recent college graduates would have
chosen more profitable majors or less expensive schools, started at
community colleges, delayed college, or not attended at all. Green
added, “We’re honored to be recognized among CNBC’s Top FinTech
Companies, but we don’t just want to be among the best fintech
companies. We want to help students make major financial decisions
in a responsible way.”
Earnest maintains a transparent, student-first approach to
reduce students’ total education costs, supercharge their ability
to pay down debt, and get on the right financial track, fast. It
does this by helping students make informed decisions, for example,
by showing them exactly what they are signing up for and how each
payment option will ultimately impact the total cost of their loan.
The specialists on Earnest’s Client Happiness and Going Merry teams
also offer honest guidance about a full range of options to fund a
student’s higher education and which of their needs Earnest can
meet.
Since its founding in 2013, Earnest has earned more than 264,000
happy clients and refinanced $18.7 billion in student loans. What’s
more, the company has a 4.7/5 star rating on Trustpilot, and this
award follows being named Best Private Student Loan Lender by U.S.
News & World Report.
In 2021, Earnest acquired Going Merry by Earnest to help get
students on the path to financial stability before taking on debt.
The platform is used by two out of every three high schools in the
U.S., providing free access to scholarships, financial aid, and
helpful guidance to navigate the financial aid and college
application processes.
CNBC’s designation results from a rigorous evaluation of over
2,000 global fintech companies spanning eight market segments.
