I'm Allen Kors, Founder and CEO of AchieveLending.com, the first ever education loan search engine. At just 27 years old I left my job in banking to form my own financial technology company which offers users a free online portal to search, find, and compare student loans. Designed to help both traditional and non-traditional students find the best student loans, Achieve Lending is the first tool of its kind to aggregate loan offers for those seeking private financing for educational purposes.
I founded the company after six years of working in the finance industry, during which time I saw a lot of friends and students make poorly informed choices when it comes to choosing student loans. Even my own student loan choice was uninformed, and that decision has cost me thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. AchieveLending.com aims to help users find the most competitive interest rate while empowering users by providing financial education on the loan process and terminology.
