EVIL

Evil

Predatory Loan Company

Anyone who represents, is a part of, or has anything to do with the company is going straight to hell.

Auto Pay setup caused me to be late on a payment

I thought setting up recurring payments would make it easy for me to avoid a late payment. I came to realize you have to manually pay your first payment for recurring to be initiated. Had no idea and then I was emailed about a late payment. Frustrating, the company has one job, to collect money, and they do that poorly.

App is Fine

They will keep logging me out and have me change my password almost monthly.

Sallie Mae is Predatory

Because I wanted to further my education but couldn’t afford to pay for everything outright, I have to pay them an absolutely ridiculous amount of money each month for the next ten or so years. Avoid Sallie Mae if you can, they are not flexible at all and depending on how much money you borrowed, your monthly payment might be uncomfortably high.

Autofill not working in iOS

The app sends you to a browser to login. Besides that, I’m unable to login automatically. I have to manually type credentials. What’s the point of the app?

Leach

Well, does what it’s supposed to do — take money.

The worst possible option

Predatory lending at its best.

Hard time

During hard times like from 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 knowing that you guys voted for Trump you should be offering some help but you’re not.

inform yourself

please inform yourself before using this loan company. they will give loans to anyone no questions asked. if this sounds like a good thing to you then you’re just like me 6 years ago… it seems great until it isn’t. trust me just shop elsewhere

suck me dry

like you do to my bank account

Remember Me Credentials

Make an option to “remember this device” for the username and password, it’s inconvenient having to log in new credentials everyday

Sallie Mae

Terrible customer service, calls non primary family members to contact for a debt. How rude.

Ashamed

Sallie Mae takes advantage of kids trying to goto school. It’s gross.

Account Issues

This app will not allow me to look at my savings account. Upon logging in, it informs me about loan payment issues that require the website (I don’t have a loan through Sallie Mae, I have a HYSA) and pressing the “x” to leave this notification simply takes me back to the login screen. There is no way to view my account. Disappointing to say the least!

App sucks

Always have to set up new password for some stupid reason

App sucks

Your app has so much flash and attempts to get more loans you can barely make a payment

The app is great

The app is so much better than logging in through the browser! Setting up auto pay was a breeze. Finally, something that makes things easier.

Going downhill

They took away Face ID, although there is still a setting to select, it does nothing. Tried to give feedback from within settings in the app and the size of the feedback entry screen is such that the submit button is out of view and must be scrolled to. But window just snaps back and scroll button doesn’t stay in view. Impossible to submit feedback.

Automatic log out

I will get more notifications if the app wouldn’t automatically logged me out. That can be a real hindrance when you want to be on time with your payment payments.
