CommonBond is an online lending company that makes education finance better. Through CommonBond, our members gain access to a robust suite of low fixed- and variable-rate student loan products to refinance existing student loans after graduation or to finance an MBA while in school. When comparing CommonBond to the federal government and other private lenders, many students choose CommonBond due to 1) our best-in-class customer service, 2) a greater diversity of low-interest rate products, 3) access to our talented, successful community of members (what we call the "CommonBond Family"), and 4) the social mission of our business (what we call our "Social Promise"). Our founders felt firsthand the personal pain of the student loan process when they were in business school: high interest rate loans, poor service, and a confusing process. They founded CommonBond to change all of that - to bring to market a product and a service they wished had existed when they were in school.
