Flexible student loan software
for the full lending journey
Each stage of student lending brings its own challenges. By automating processes, reducing servicing
errors, and supporting flexible repayment strategies, your team can work more efficiently and give
borrowers a transparent, supportive experience.
Accessible onboarding
Deliver a smooth experience on any device by guiding applicants through a clear, structured
process. Built-in identity verification, automated eligibility checks, and integration with
institutional data sources reduce drop-offs and let only verified, eligible students into your
pipeline.

Structured origination
Configure underwriting around academic calendars, enrollment, and expected income. Support grace
periods, staged disbursements, and institution-specific terms, while AI scoring and registry
integrations automate student verification and reduce fraud.

Lifecycle servicing
Manage every part of student loan servicing inside a unified system. Handle disbursements,
deferment periods, grace timelines, and repayment schedules efficiently. Automatically adjust
schedules as borrower circumstances change to ensure accuracy. Keep students and administrators
aligned with automated notifications and real-time account visibility.

Configurable collection workflows
Our tools allow your team to temporarily skip billing statements during hardship without
triggering penalties or incorrect delinquency statuses. When loans do become overdue, our
Collections module provides a clear, structured process with automated follow-up strategies,
from soft reminders to stronger actions.

Student loan origination software
built for student lending complexity
HES LoanBox enables lenders to build a structured, automated origination flow that diminishes manual
effort, eliminates verification bottlenecks, supports flexible underwriting logic, and handles
incomplete or evolving applications without losing visibility.
Decisions accelerated with AI and automation
Applications that stay open
Rich decisioning engine
Document management
and much more
Academic-year product engine
Spin up undergraduate, graduate, refinance, or co-signed offers, each on its own terms.
Rates, fees, grace windows, and term-based disbursement follow the logic you define for
every program or partner institution, and editing any of it never waits on a developer.
Co-signer and guarantor handling
Student deals rarely involve one party. Capture co-signer and guarantor details on a single
application, screen each of them, and bind their obligations to the loan record so
responsibility stays clear from approval through payoff.
Term-based disbursement control
Release funds the way schools actually bill: by semester, by term, or against enrollment
milestones. Hold, split, or reschedule a tranche when a student's status shifts, keeping
every movement anchored to the correct academic period.
Workflows your team rewires
Sketch an application path, set approval logic, branch on conditions, then push the flow
live in days. A visual, no-code builder lets your operations team reshape student lending
processes without waiting on an engineering sprint.
Reminders that track the grace clock
Repayment for students hinges on dates: graduation, grace expiry, deferment end. Fire SMS
and email nudges off those milestones so borrowers act before an account slips, with no
chasing from your staff.
Access control and audit trail
Decide who sees and touches what. Granular roles, password rules, and two-factor sign-in
guard borrower records, while a complete log of every action keeps the platform ready for
review at any time.

The 2026 reality of
educational lending
$1.8T
outstanding student loan debt
Americans owed $1.84 trillion in student loans
by December 2025, second only to mortgages among consumer debt. A book this size punishes
lenders still running it on legacy servicing.
9.6%
of balances 90+ days delinquent
With repayment resumed,
9.6% of student loan balances were 90+ days delinquent
by late 2025, up from under 1% the year before. Borrowers slip quietly without early
warning.
$102B
borrowed in the 2024-25 year
Students and parents
borrowed $102.6 billion in 2024-2025, 14% of it private or nonfederal. Refi and private lenders compete hard for those
applicants, and slow origination loses them.
$1B
in student aid fraud stopped in 2025
The US Department of Education stopped over
$1 billion in student lending fraud in 2025, much of it AI bots and synthetic identities. Identity checks belong at application.
