EvoShare and SavvyFi announce partnership for college savings and student loan repayments

BERKELEY, Calif., April 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EvoShare, a microsavings-oriented FinTech startup based in Berkeley, CA, and SavvyFi, a tech-driven 529 employee benefit platform headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, are announcing their partnership to make saving for college, and paying off student loans an automatic daily habit. This collaboration with SavvyFi aims to give everyone advanced tech that will help them cover education expenses without changing their spending habits.

EvoShare's proprietary system turns a percentage of every dollar spent at over 10,000 partnered local and online businesses, and 700,000+ hotels worldwide, into additional contributions for financial accounts, including 529 education savings plans. SavvyFi has simplified the signup process for 529 Plans and student loan repayment plans so any family can quickly start saving for the future, while enjoying unique features like gifting & cashback.

"SavvyFi has already made it easy for the whole family to get involved in adding to a 529 or paying off student loans. Our contribution is giving the whole family extra money from their daily shopping in the form of cashback. Now all the things parents or grandparents are buying for the kids can also help fund their education" – Eugeny Prudchyenko, CEO of EvoShare.

"Adding EvoShare's cash back rewards program to SavvyFi's platform gives families another opportunity to increase their savings without coming out of pocket. This also allows employers to provide a much-needed and valuable benefit without requiring the extra cost of matching contributions." – Jeffrey Hull, CEO of SavvyFi.

Given the current financial climate, parents are concerned about being able to save for their children's education, and recent grads will continue to struggle paying off their student loans. SavvyFi solved the problem of figuring out what kind of account to open, which investments to choose, and how to get started. With the addition of EvoShare, they have solved the last challenge - how to find money to contribute to a 529 account. This partnership is going to usher in an entirely new way to automatically save for college or pay down student debt whenever family members shop, dine or travel - without any impact on the family's budget.
