Sallie Mae to Split-Off Loan Servicing and Debt Collection Unit this Week

Student loan giant SLM Corp., better known as Sallie Mae, will be split into two separate companies this week: one a consumer bank focusing on education lending and the other a loan servicer and collection agency.

Sallie Mae’s servicing and collections business will begin operating Wednesday under a new publicly traded company called Navient Corp. Shareholders will receive a new share in Navient for every SLM share they own.
