Introduction

If you’re a student loan borrower, you probably know that you have a loan account number. But do you know where to find it?

Your student loan account number is assigned to you by your lender. It’s usually printed on your monthly statement. If you don’t have a monthly statement, you can usually find your account number by logging into your account online.

If you can’t find your account number, don’t worry. You can usually get it by calling your lender or the company that services your loan.

Once you have your account number, be sure to keep it safe. You’ll need it if you ever want to make a payment online or sign up for automatic payments.

-Welcome letter. After your loan is approved, you’ll get a welcome letter from your loan servicer. The welcome letter will have your student loan account number.
-Monthly statement. You’ll get monthly statements from your loan servicer with your current balance and other important information. Your student loan account number will be on these statements.

If you’re having trouble finding your student loan account number, contact your loan servicer for help.
