The loan processing system of M Power is very fast and smooth. I received the offer support letter within 4-5 days from completion of my application. The best part about the M power is that they need any collateral. Other than this they also provide visa guidance support and various Scholarships.

I felt that MPOWER specifically provides loans to STEM students and assesses the student’s potential, their ability to work in the United States and repay the loan. I think it’s a very solid and practical product.
