“The largest bank in the United States will stop making student loans in a few weeks. JPMorgan Chase has sent a memorandum to colleges notifying them that the bank will stop making new student loans in October, according to Reuters. The official reason is quite bland. ‘We just don’t see this as a market that we can significantly grow,’ Thasunda Duckett tells Reuters. Duckett is the chief executive for auto and student loans at Chase, which means she’s basically delivering the news that a large part of her business is getting closed down. The move is eerily reminiscent of the subprime shutdown that happened in 2007. The news was presented in much the same way.”
