Aug 03,2024I would just like to say that the advisor was very helpful in understanding to my needs. She took the time to answer my questions and understood that I had no idea what I was doing. I really think her for her patients in her quickness.

Aug 02,2024The loan process was very easy and straight forward. I would recommend RISLA to others. RISLA cut the interest rate in half and lowered the payments by $350 a month.

Jul 16,2024Through the Credible Platform we were able to see various financial institutions rates to consolidate some student loans for a better rate and a single payment. We choose RISLA because they offered the best option. Our experience was easy and straight forward without hassle. They made it easy, communication on point, and always responded in a timely manner if we had any questions either by email or by phone. Thank you for the support and easy transition to what otherwise is a “painful” process.

Jun 20,2024Customer service was fantastic and I received email updated every step of the way. When I needed to call and ask a question you go straight to a human being, no fighting with a robot until you can speak to a person. The website was easy to navigate and the rates were fair.
