ONE

Higher One Holdings, Inc.

A financial technology company that helped colleges send leftover financial-aid money to students. Founded in 2000 by three Yale undergraduates frustrated by slow, paper-based refund checks, its OneAccount debit card and Refund Management platform streamlined campus payments, while the CASHNet platform handled tuition billing and payment plans. The name plays on its focus on higher education—positioning itself as the "one" streamlined solution for campus finances.
