Amazon Wants To Sell You Everything, Including Student Loans (qz.com)

Amazon sells all kinds of stuff -- some legit, some not as much. So it didn't really come as a big surprise when the company announced that it will now be selling student loans too. Quartz has more details: The e-commerce giant inked a deal with Wells Fargo to offer interest rate discounts on loans to students who are Amazon Prime members. The bank, which is the second largest student lender in the US, will shave off half a percentage point for Amazon "Prime Student" customers who take out student loans to attend college or are looking to refinance their existing student loans.

Not *really* selling student loans

[C3ntaur]

Sounds to me like they want to *write* student loans. Which is quite different from selling them. I would be interested in buying the notes, if that's what they were selling. Usurious interest rates, no chance of discharge in bankruptcy, no expiration. This is the kind of investment vehicle I would want to own.
