Sep 18,2023Any and every time I called or emailed RISLA, I spoke to friendly, very helpful representatives. Mary Ann was amazing! She (and RISLA) made obtaining a student loan for my daughter a lot less stressful because of their help and accessibility.

Sep 18,2023We have just completed our third loan application with RISLA and they have been great to work with. The loan process is a stressful and sometimes confusing experience, but the people at RISLA always make you feel a little more in control; and are very responsive with any and all questions that might arise. We were in the final phase or our application and had a question about the math. Our representative was extremely helpful and provided an accurate solution. We were able to finish the application with no further issue.

Sep 15,2023There is no notification if there is an issue with a loan. Luckily they answer the phone and are very helpful. It would be nice if you could get a status update at least weekly so that the process continues to move. Shouldn't take months for this process.
