How to Find Out My Student Loan Balance

Financial institutions that service student loans send out monthly statements to the borrowers indicating when the next payment is due and what the current balances are. Referencing your last monthly statement would be one way to get a current balance, but if you could not find it, then simply calling the servicing lender and speaking with a representative will give you the information you seek. The instructions will help you locate the lender’s information and then obtain your exact student loan balance.
