Is a Private Student Loan Right for You?

Posted on June 04, 2019 by Kaylyn Maher – Marketing Assistant

Whether you’re a parent or a soon-to-be high school graduate, the rising tuition cost of colleges and universities is overwhelming. There’s often a gap between the amount of funding a student receives and the cost of their chosen school, adding to the stress of the college experience. Many of you are all too aware of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) process. For some though, the federal borrowing limits will be too low, or you just won’t qualify. In those cases, private student loans may be a good option for you. Offered by private lenders, these loans can be used for tuition, books and supplies, or living expenses.

What members are saying

Attention to detail and a wonderfully friendly staff are just a few of the attributes I would use to describe the R.I.A. Federal Credit Union in Tomah.

One of the most unique qualities about the employees is that they are always looking out for my best interest. Unlike other lending institutions I have worked with, they will present you with multiple options when it comes to lending, explaining each along the way, so that I am able to make an educated decision rather than signing paperwork and 20 minutes later wondering what it is I signed. Peace of mind is invaluable when it comes to your finances, and I have found that at R.I.A. Federal Credit Union.

I am now on my fifth auto loan through R.I.A. Federal Credit Union. Their staff are very knowledgeable, customer-friendly and always remember my name, and their interest rates are superb. I would recommend R.I.A. to everyone for any of their financial needs.

I love the R.I.A. Federal Credit Union branch in Savanna because of the well trained and dedicated supervisor. The service representatives are very knowledgeable and helpful. The central location is desirable offering a wide range of quality financial services.

So glad I made the switch to R.I.A. Federal Credit Union awhile ago. They take the time to remember their members names and even voice when they call in all the time. Super friendly staff and excellent customer service always! I absolutely love doing business with them.

We opened our accounts in October of 2010. We immediately felt welcome into the R.I.A. Federal Credit Union family. The entire staff has been friendly, helpful with any and all problems or questions. Very professional to deal with.
