Our take
Earnest offers student loan refinancing and personal loan products. It looks at thousands of data points such as education, saving patterns, investments, and career trajectory to issue a unique credit score, which can prove a lifeline for students who may otherwise struggle to qualify for loan refinancing.
For the portion of student debtors with low credit scores, Earnest is one of a few scant options. Borrowers can choose their own loan terms to fund up to the full cost of their education, and there are no origination, application, or late fees.
Earnest has grown from distributing $8M loans in its first year of business to an impressive total $18.5 billion in student loans refinanced, and has served upwards of 200,000 people. With student loans representing such a huge sector of lending, there should be plenty of room for Earnest to continue expanding in the future.

Company values
- Earn Happy Customers - Our customers’ journey is ours to share. Our success comes from anticipating their needs and providing the solutions they’re looking for. This combination of empathy and action helps them become our best endorsers and biggest fans.
- Better is Better - The path to great means getting better every day. We push ourselves, and each other, to remain curious and think differently. We know the value of compounding and how continuous 1% improvement leads to massive changes. We are always willing to challenge the status quo in order to achieve our goals.
- PhD in Moving Fast - Our customers are tired of long wait times and large student loan bills so we constantly seek out ways to deliver faster. We refuse to waste time on things that don’t move the needle and we surprise teammates and customers with our speed.
- Passion for Challenges - Perseverance and optimism are just the start to take on the inertia of a national trillion-dollar problem. We enjoy tough challenges knowing that if we persist through them we will make a difference.
- Impact is a Team Sport - We maximize our impact when we act as one team. We each play our part and put team success above personal achievement. Earnies are willing to do what it takes to make the team better even though it may be uncomfortable for ourselves.
