Is Piecewise a student loan servicer?

We are not a student loan servicer. We are a neutral platform built by student loan borrowers on a mission to help you overcome debt and save money. We work with schools to help borrowers learn about and repay their loans, but we do not hold any loan balances ourselves.

Is Piecewise a debt collection agency?

We are not a debt collection agency. We will never share borrower information with servicers or other third parties. We are actively working to change the way people repay student debt, and as student debt borrowers ourselves, we do everything in our power to protect borrowers and prevent them from defaulting.

Is Piecewise safe to use?

Yes. We secure all borrower and school data with 256-bit encryption, the same level of security that banks use. We use the same trusted provider that Venmo and American Express do. We do not share or sell any of your personal information to third parties.

Can Piecewise lower default rates?

Piecewise provides personalized exit counseling to set up every borrower with their optimal repayment plan to ensure that they can afford their student debt repayment and don’t default on their student loans.

Testimonials

Our median rating from students is 5 stars. Below are testimonials from recent Piecewise users.

I felt like Piecewise was on my side. It was way more interesting and informative than my own exit counseling, where I was super overwhelmed with information and didn't learn half as much.

Chloe | Grinnell College, Class of 2016

There was great guidance on getting in touch with my servicer during the exit counseling. I’m learning a lot! Transparency on fleek.

Alex | Miami University, Class of 2018

The way the steps were written out for each task was easy to understand and written in a non-intimidating way. Talking finance always stresses me out, so to see the steps to understand and take control of my loans listed out in a familiar way took a lot of the stress out of the process.

Leah | Eckerd College, Class of 2015

This is my second time taking this exam (exit counseling). The first time was in 2017, before I graduated undergrad. This time I was able to comprehend better and it was very easy to complete the course.
