HOW IT WORKS

Make contributions to your employees' student loans.

We partner with you to build a plan that works for your company. You pick the contribution amount and determine if it increases. You can even add one-time bonuses. After that, we ensure that every contribution gets paid directly to your employees’ student loan servicer.

This has been a great benefit, not just financially, but also mentally, knowing that I'm finally making progress on my loans."
