Campus Credit

Campus Credit Corp. was a financial technology company established on November 3, 2016, as a Delaware C-Corp with headquarters in Lewes, Delaware. The firm operated with a dual-pronged business model aimed at the higher education market. One segment of its business was a proprietary API and e-commerce marketplace that provided businesses a direct sales and marketing channel into university communities. This platform allowed companies to offer exclusive deals, benefits, and discounts to students and faculty, creating an interactive marketplace for each university network.

The second arm of the company, known as Campus Capital, focused on the student lending sector. It functioned as a private student loan and refinance service, connecting students and graduates with a network of over 300 community and not-for-profit lenders. A notable feature of its Campus Capital ReFi program was the ability for applicants to refinance student loan balances as low as $10,000, a significantly lower threshold than many competitors required at the time. The company's platform was designed to let users learn about, compare rates for, and secure loans through a streamlined online application.

Campus Credit also engaged with educational institutions by providing mentorship and practical experience to students in business, computer science, and design programs. The company was advised by a team of professionals from various sectors, including individuals with experience from companies like Square Inc. and Allen & Company. According to PitchBook data, the company is no longer in business as of April 2019.
