Receivables [Abstract] |
Loans Held for Investment | Loans Held for Investment Loans Held for Investment consist of Private Education Loans and FFELP Loans. "Private Education Loans" are education loans to students or their families that are not issued, insured or guaranteed by any state or federal government. Our Private Education Loans are made largely to bridge the gap between the cost of higher education and the amount funded through financial aid, government loans or customers’ resources. Private Education Loans bear the full credit risk of the borrower and any cosigners. We manage this risk through risk-performance underwriting strategies and the addition of qualified cosigners. Our Private Education Loans generally carry a variable interest rate indexed to LIBOR. As of March 31, 2015, 82 percent of all Private Education Loans were indexed to LIBOR. We provide incentives for customers to include a cosigner on our Private Education Loans, and the vast majority of Private Education Loans in our portfolio are cosigned. We also encourage our Private Education Loan customers to make payments while in school. FFELP Loans are insured by the federal government as to their principal and accrued interest in the event of default subject to a risk sharing level based on the date of loan disbursement. These insurance obligations are supported by contractual rights against the United States. For loans disbursed on or after July 1, 2006, we receive 97 percent reimbursement on all qualifying claims. For loans disbursed after October 1, 1993, and before July 1, 2006, we receive 98 percent reimbursement on all qualifying claims. For loans disbursed prior to October 1, 1993, we receive 100 percent reimbursement on all qualifying claims. Loans held for investment are summarized as follows:
