LendKey Selected as Exclusive Student Loan Refinancing Partner by The American Professional Practice Association

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LendKey, the leading Lending-as-a-Service platform that connects borrowers with credit unions and banks, today announced that it has been exclusively endorsed by The American Professional Practice Association (APPA). The partnership allows APPA member doctors the opportunity to refinance existing federal and private undergraduate and graduate school loans at lower rates and save tens of thousands of dollars, on average.

"We're very aware that paying off large amounts of student loan debt is a major challenge for our members," said APPA Corporate Vice President Marisol Dioses. "This relationship with LendKey will directly relieve that pressure for our members and provide them with access to lower rate loans from an organization that matches our passion for service and member satisfaction."

The APPA is committed to providing its medical, dental, and osteopathic doctor members with information, benefits and financial services that enhance their professional careers and personal lives. Saving money by refinancing student loans into lower fixed or variable rates with LendKey is among the many resources that the APPA provides to its members.  As an added benefit, all APPA members will also receive a $100 APPA Member Gift when refinancing with LendKey, on top of the over $34,000* average savings.

"Working with the APPA to offer its members some the lowest student loan rates in the industry is exciting because we can bring tremendous value to medical professionals," said Vince Passione, Founder and CEO of LendKey. "Refinancing student debt can be one of the largest financial savings opportunities available to doctors, who spend an average of $176,000 on student loans."

Only APPA members are eligible to receive the exclusive $100 APPA Member Gift when refinancing with LendKey, and the endorsement is effective immediately.
