FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1CAVEAT is a service that helps people make supplemental student loan payments using creative and painless solutions. 1CAVEAT allows friends and family to contribute to member accounts using our credit card roundup function that rounds transactions to the next dollar and applies the loose change to your member account. We also allow members to contribute weekly fixed amounts from their bank account(s), as well as use the credit card roundup function on one or more credit card. We are also rolling out a new groundbreaking human resource benefit that allows employers to become contributors to their employee's 1CAVEAT accounts.
HOW DOES 1CAVEAT WORK?
1CAVEAT works through scheduled and/or transactional contributions from contributor bank and credit card accounts. Members will create their 1CAVEAT account, setup their bank/credit card accounts, register their student loan accounts and set a weekly contribution amount. Once you are a registered member, you can invite family and friends to be contributors, as well. Contributions will be collected throughout the month and at the end of each month, payments will be made to your student loan account(s). 1CAVEAT is a supplemental student loan payment program and not meant to replace your normal loan payments.
