For lenders and marketplaces

A transparent referral channel built around better borrower decisions.

College Loan Finder can support tracked, consent-conscious handoffs without collecting application data. Editorial ordering and commercial relationships remain separate.

Partner capability

Designed for clean attribution and clear boundaries.

The platform is technically ready for approved HTTPS destinations, partner sub-ID parameters, deduplicated non-sensitive postbacks, placement-level reporting, and adjacent relationship disclosure.

Acquisition

Decision-ready referrals

Visitors calculate the gap, understand federal alternatives, research public features, and intentionally choose the next destination.

Attribution

First-party click IDs

Partner, product, placement, page, campaign, and random click identifiers support reconciliation without application data.

Editorial

No pay-to-rank

Commercial relationships cannot purchase ordering, inclusion, a badge, or a favorable conclusion. Paid placements must be separate and labeled.

Data not collected

SSN, date of birth, credit report, income documentation, bank credentials, FAFSA credentials, school certification, or application fields.

Possible postbacks

Click, application started, approved, funded, or commission—only when tied to a random click ID and authorized by agreement.

Required before activation

Written program approval, authorized creative and claims, link and sub-ID specifications, attribution rules, disclosure language, allowed channels, and compliance review.
