I got in touch with Anchal regarding financing options as I head for an MBA at Stanford. She helped me get to know about all the available options with utmost patience. In the end, I was able to get a highly competitive interest rate with her help, which turned out to be the best option available in the market!
I’m really grateful to Nomad team for all the help and support. From the very first step, they were always just a call away. Thanks to them, the whole process felt so much smoother and less stressful. I’d happily recommend them. They truly go above and beyond for the people they works with!
As I was heading for MBA at Columbia, I got in touch with Nomad team regarding the financing. They were super helpful and always approachable. This involved sitting with me on calls as I fill forms, helping with US cosigner doubts, helping me process all the applications. I highly recommend them!!
Ganesh was my case manager at Nomad Credit. He helped me secure 2 student loans, 1 for each year of my MBA at UCLA Anderson. It is not always straight forward for international students to get student loans in the US, but Ganesh walked me through the whole process step by step, making it as stress free as possible. Highly recommended!
Nomad Team helped me get the best possible option for my financing needs. They made sure that I got the most updated and consistent information to make the right decision towards the most important aspect of my studies i.e. money management. They were always there to help me and have a great attitude towards helping others.
