Behind the name is a group of innovative industry experts who specialize in working with students, parents, and professionals just like you. We believe your best days are ahead of you, and we’re committed to bringing that future into focus with student loans and refinancing that fits not only where you are but also where you’re headed. We’re a national private lending company with deep roots in supporting education. SouthEast Bank’s parent holding company, Education Loan Finance, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization that has a longstanding (25 years) commitment to higher education. That commitment has led to more than $20 million provided in scholarships and financial literacy curriculum offered to local high schools. Giving back to our community is paramount at ELFI, and as proof of that, we recently awarded $50,000 to help a customer and his family pay off their loans. For us, “bringing the future into focus” is more than a tagline. It’s a promise.
