One of the biggest student loan companies in the US wants to shut down its services

  • Navient, the largest student-loan company in the US, announced its plans to end its loan servicing.
  • This announcement is pending government approval.
  • Navient services 12 million borrowers and is the third company to announce plans to end its contract.

Navient, the largest student-loan company in the country, announced it is requesting government approval to end its servicing contract on Tuesday.

According to a press release, the six million borrowers who currently pay their federal student loans to Navient will be transferred to Maximus, a government loan servicing company. This is the third company to announce plans to end loan servicing this year – the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) and Granite State Management and Resources – servicing a combined 10 million borrowers, are ending their contracts, as well.

“Navient is pleased to work with the Department of Education and Maximus to provide a smooth transition to borrowers and Navient employees as we continue our focus on areas outside of government student loan servicing,” Jack Remondi, Navient President and CEO, said in a statement. “Maximus will be a terrific partner to ensure that borrowers and the government are well served, and we look forward to receiving FSA approval.”
