Yes I took loans from Discover and Citizens Bank. All lenders will require a co-signer who needs to be a US citizen or Permanent Resident
If you have a resident co signer your rates will depend on their credit score. I got mine for 3%. If you go through the university financial aid program then it used to be around 7.5% before pandemic. Edit: if you have a resident co-signer with good credit score, make sure to shop around multiple banks. Discover and Citi are both good.
Try Prodigy. I refinanced my MBA loan with Prodigy after graduating and got 5%+LIBOR (effectively around 5.7 right now). It’s a good option without a Us co-signer
I used mpower. No cosigner, max $50k loan. 10-12%.

I got it from Discover, 7-8% interest rate, no co-signor required.
Yes try Stilt
6-7%, US citizen co-signer.
The frustrating bit I will add is that I developed fantastic credit since and could have got my rates lowered to 3-4% with refinancing, but as I no longer am living, studying or working in the states I can't refinance. Something to consider for a US bank loan.
I'm not sure what the rates are right now but I got my cousin (a US citizen who had an excellent credit score to cosign) 8 years ago and my rate was around 5%. Citizens bank
I did too. But in my case my first 2 years was paid out of pocket but as an emergency arose we had to go for the last year as a loan. Went through Wells Fargo co-signed by my family member who’s a resident. Very low int rate 2% or so
I got a loan from Discover for my MBA. The cosigner needs to be a citizen/permanent resident. The interest rate really depends on your cosigner's credit history. For me, it was 1.5%

Thanks to all for all the tips!
It really depends on co-signers credit history. I got mine from citizens bank for 2.5%
Yes, I did. Citizens bank, 8-9%. It is possible but USC cosigner required for international students.
