Students to benefit from new mobile app to
streamline their financial life, academic responsibilities and
social events
BOSTON, July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Estu, a student life fintech
company, today unveiled a groundbreaking mobile app dedicated to
enhancing the student life experience. Understanding that student
life is an important time in the lives of many, Estu empowers
students with the resources and personalized financial services
they need to achieve a more balanced lifestyle.
"My goal was to create something that would make student life
cheaper, more enjoyable and more connected through an all-in-one
app that connects students to brands," said Raul Wald, Founder & Chief Visionary Officer
at Estu. "As a student, I realized that there were no services or
companies dedicated to enhancing the student experience beyond
their school. Estu is an all-encompassing platform that empowers
students to manage the intersection of their finances, academics,
and social life. My vision for our fintech solution is that one day
it will replace the current financial system and university student
IDs to take care of a student's financial life. Our mission is to
make student life across the country more economical through
financial services, more enjoyable through exclusive experiences
and less time-consuming through our integration."
Estu consists of three core elements, financial, academic, and
social life, to enhance student success and increase student
engagement. The new app provides college students with a
personalized financial service promoting secure and streamlined
financial transactions via an integrated payment system. The
streamlined payment service allows students to pay tuition
directly, conduct fund transfers efficiently, and receive payment
notifications. The app offers additional services including a
checking account, P2P transfers, ACH, wire, domestic and
international transfers, and contactless payments with Apple
Pay.
Estu helps students achieve academic efficiency through its
scheduling and assignment features developed to optimize academic
responsibilities and improve performance. The app offers an
intuitive scheduling tool that allows students to sync their
schedules with their phone calendar, enabling alerts and reminders
for classes, assignments, and social events.
Additionally, the app emphasizes students' social lives and will
offer access to exclusive events. Estu will connect brands to
students through exciting events both on and off campus, such as
athletic events, concerts and club-sponsored activities. In
partnership with brands like Ticketmaster, Amazon, and Best Buy,
Estu offers app users discounts on both products and a range of
services including concert tickets, music, books, tech gadgets, and
more.
"We're thrilled to introduce a solution that addresses the
multifaceted challenges college students face today," said
Carlos Arruda, CEO of Estu. "We aim
to provide a seamless experience that enhances the overall quality
of student life. Estu allows students to easily manage their
day-to-day lives so they can focus on their personal and academic
growth."
