Edamerica does not sell its loans in the open market. Edamerica partners with Edsouth, its non-profit funding source and primary secondary market, and Edfinancial Services, its designated servicer. Generally, Edamerica sells loans to Edsouth within 60 days of final disbursement. All loans are serviced by Edfinancial Services for the life-of-the-loan.

Because all loans are serviced by Edfinancial Services from origination through repayment of the final payment, the process is seamless to the student, without any effect to the back-end benefits offered. The student will be notified by letter of a change in ownership of their loan from Edamerica to Edsouth; however, the point of contact will not change.
