The Collective Bargaining Concept in Student Lending

Juno (originally founded by Harvard Business School students as LeverEdge) operates under a collective bargaining model. Rather than individual students applying separately to lenders, Juno aggregates thousands of prospective borrowers into large pools and holds a competitive bidding process among private banks and lenders.

Lenders compete to offer the lowest interest rate and fee schedule to Juno’s group, allowing individual borrowers to access lower interest rates than they might obtain applying directly.
