About Nelnet Bank
Our mission is to help families achieve their dreams with financial knowledge and access to education.
Discover Your Financial Future
Nelnet was founded over 40 years ago on one simple idea: to serve our customers and make their educational dreams possible. We created Nelnet Bank to bring that experience to education financing.
Nelnet Bank rewards borrowers for their hard work with better loan solutions. Our borrowers have big dreams for the future – we help them dream even bigger.
