What their policy promises

complaint process: loan servicer

“Your loan servicer is also your first point of contact if you want to request deferment, need a copy of your student loan statements, or have any other issues with your student loans.”

complaint process: no cosigner required

“MPOWER Financing does not have this cosigner requirement, making it easier for international students to borrow loans in their own name, and in turn have financial independence.”

Method: reviews are classified into a fixed complaint taxonomy by an automated reader; every category shown is backed by at least two verbatim quotes from distinct reviews. Trends are computed from dated review counts only. Negative reviews are deliberately over-sampled for evidence depth; headline percentages use an unbiased recent sample only.
