“Our main objective was to take our debit plan off campus. That was one of the things we really looked at. In the process, when we got the response from Higher One, we saw that we could kill two birds with one stone. We could have an off campus merchant program, plus we could also process refunds in an electronic method.”

“We chose Higher One because we thought the company had an impressive track record with higher education, the proposal was very well put together, we were comfortable with the company’s approach, and we spoke with Sam Houston State University, a Higher One client, and received a favorable report.”
|
“We were and continue to be very student focused on the product that we deliver to them. Higher One was the only [company] that focused solely on higher education which was a big plus for us and they had the only product that could not only meet, but exceed the needs of what we wanted.”

“We like that the students can have their awards transferred into their OneAccounts, as it will enable our students to gain experience using online banking and permit them to become more familiar with a trend that is becoming more important in the 21st Century.”

“In doing our research, we found Higher One’s OneDisburse Refund Management to be the most reliable, convenient and student-focused service available for the management of refund disbursements to our student body. Using this program, we can efficiently manage this important business process and simultaneously provide improved services and convenience to our students.”

“We chose Higher One because OneDisburse Refund Management offers our students two electronic methods of receiving their refunds from the school. One of our main objectives was to significantly decrease the amount of paper checks that HCC issues to students each semester. Higher One gives us the best chance to achieve this objective.”
|
“Our partnership with Higher One will enable us to provide our students with better customer service. By allowing the students to select the method of refund disbursement that is most convenient to them we have been able to get the refunds to the students faster and with flexible options, while at the same time reducing administrative costs and subsequently freeing up staff to concentrate on other student-focused initiatives.”

“Because Dowling College is dedicated to continuously enhancing campus service, it was a smart decision to partner with Higher One. Higher One provides more than just a faster refund to our students. They are committed to higher education and in touch with the issues facing students. Higher
One offers services to college students that educate them regarding their finances. We as a college appreciate that and are confident that our student’s best interests are considered in this partnership.”
|
“The reality was that Higher One had a track record. With everyone else, we would’ve been a new initiative. Higher One had already done it at other institutions and had done it successfully.”
|
|
“We particularly appreciate how easily Higher One integrates its OneCard disbursement and banking services with CSU card systems to enhance our One-Stop Shopping capabilities. The Spring 2005 term had a smooth start due to Higher One, avoiding the usual long lines of students waiting to receive their financial aid checks.”
