Whether you're aiming to secure a student loan or start a small business, getting your hands on cash can be a challenge. These NYC companies combine money and tech to change the way you send, receive, save and manage your finances.
The team at LearnVest believes everyone — including you — should have access to financial planning skills and tools. When you sign up for an account, they walk you through the entire process, from building a strong foundation to creating a budget and sticking to it. You also get access to a financial planner, online resources and a customizable financial plan.
Let's face it: student loans are a painful necessity for many. CommonBond wants to take the sting out by offering loans for undergraduate, graduate and MBA programs, along with refinancing options. Their team gets to know you and your financial situation before defining your rate, and they’ve created a community for members that’s dedicated to providing resources and support like events. Even better: for members who are in between jobs, CommonBond offers a work program.
For people who work across borders — including freelancers, stock photographers, vacation rental owners and more — managing the ins and outs of international payments can be a burden. But with Payoneer, you can send and receive payments with ease. You’ll have access to lower payment fees, and Payoneer will automatically convert currency for you. You can also use Payoneer to make payments, and transactions between Payoneer users are free, no matter where they’re located.
If you’re a small business owner in need of financing, look no further than Bond Street Marketplace. When you answer a few questions about your company, the team will review your application, and, if you’re approved, your funds will be deposited. Since Bond Street's loans are limited to $1 million, they're ideal for smaller needs, like adding new members to your team or opening a new location.
