WILMINGTON, Del., Dec. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Access Group, a nonprofit organization focused on delivering affordable education financing for graduate and professional students, has entered into an agreement to outsource the servicing of its student loan portfolio, which consists of approximately $8 billion in principal outstanding, to ACS, A Xerox Company.
ACS was selected through a competitive bidding process conducted among leading third-party loan servicers over the past two months. ACS has more than four decades of experience servicing student loans, and currently manages a portfolio exceeding $200 billion.
"We are excited to expand our relationship with ACS in a way that will ensure a continuation of the high quality service that our borrowers have come to know and expect," stated Christopher P.
