Supporting the Financial Wellness Needs of University Students
Given their hectic schedules and limited time for financial management, specialized credit union products and services can make a significant difference for university students.
While Ovation (previously known as Paperwork) is designed to benefit all credit union members, it offers specific features like debt tracking, educational modules, and document organization that can make a huge impact for college students navigating their financial journey. These tools provide the resources and support students need to manage their finances more effectively during their university years.
Debt management features
A standout feature of the Ovation platform is its focus on debt management, especially important for students dealing with loans. Our debt-related tools include:
A clear, visual chart to track balances of linked loan accounts
Interactive modules that help students create a plan for managing student loans, credit card debt, and other liabilities
Practical tips for prioritizing debt repayment and understanding the impact of interest
A dynamic debt score that reflects and encourages positive debt management habits
With ongoing support, Ovation offers guidance, reminders, and encouragement to help students stay on track throughout their debt journey.
Bite-sized education
Understanding the busy lives of university students, our financial wellness solution is designed to fit seamlessly into their schedules. At the heart of this approach are bite-sized learning modules, offering personalized financial advice in quick, digestible segments.
These modules provide students with practical financial knowledge in just a few minutes each week. Whether it’s budgeting, managing debt, or understanding insurance, Ovation empowers students at every stage of their financial journey—right from the convenience of their mobile phones.
Efficient account and document management
For students managing multiple responsibilities, staying organized with important financial documents is crucial. This includes everything from bank accounts and insurance policies to essential identity documents.
The digital organizer provided by the Ovation app is a popular feature that makes it simple to link accounts, upload documents, and categorize them into intuitive sections. Acting as a digital vault with top-tier security, it ensures that critical information is always secure and easily accessible when needed. Students can have peace of mind knowing that in any situation, their important documents are safely stored and readily available.
Whether it’s storing student IDs, study resources, or other essential files, our organizer provides a convenient way to keep everything at their fingertips, adding extra value above and beyond purely financial resources.
