Aug 23,2023The entire process was simple and easy. The customer service we received every time we called with questions was excellent! I believe we called 4x and each time the representative listened, was knowledgeable, kind, and personable. BTW - the hold music was just as calming :) Thank you!

Aug 22,2023RISLA is the second bank I was dealing with for refinancing student loans for my daughter. The experience was far superior with RISLA. The knowledge of the reps and the timely manner in which they responded.

Aug 14,2023The entire application process was convoluted, nonintuitive and left me with very little support. I own a business and the documentation needed changed every time I uploaded a new doc at your request. It was as if you didn't know what to ask for or what is needed. This wasted a ton of my very important time.
