We aren’t meant to do this alone- and we don’t have to.

It's Dolr’s mission is to share opportunities for student loan borrowers to access “found money” and lean on their built-in Villages to do so.

So what’s a Village? 🏘

A Village is a supportive structure and resource to help supplement your student loan repayments. A Village can provide additional cash outside of your normal income sources to help you pay off debt faster. 🕺

Some examples of Villages include:
-Employer loan payback programs
-Cashback from credit card purchases you’re already making
-Gifts and donations from friends, family, colleagues and more

Dolr is equipped to hook you up with all of these Villages and get money flowing back into your loan repayment efforts.

Dolr CEO and Co-founder Naveed Iqbal testified before the Ohio House Finance Subcommittee on Agriculture, Development, and Natural Resources today in support of Ohio H.B. 33, which would create a state incentive (in addition to the Federal tax deduction that already exists) for employers to make direct payments to their employees' student debt. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Under the proposal, employers who make direct payments to their employees' student loans would be eligible to receive a 50% nonrefundable income tax credit on the total amount of such payments during the taxable year, for a total of three years per employee.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As Naveed pointed out to the committee, it's a good proposal for employees with student debt, for employers who want to retain quality employees, and for the Ohio economy. ​​​​​​​​

Student loan repayment will begin again in less than 3 months 🤢, and now's the time to start getting ready.

If you haven't made a payment in three years, you're not alone. 60% of borrowers are right there with you. And having that new monthly payment may feel like a shock to the system.

The good news is that there are things you can do to prepare — and don't miss slide #9 because employer-sponsored student loan benefits are the BEST WAY to pay off your loans faster.

Why?

Because you're sharing the load with someone else — your boss, who's in a great position to help because (1) they need awesome employees like you and (2) they can contribute up to $5250 tax-free, per employee, per year.

Now is the time to ask them about setting up a student loan benefit. DM us for help with that.

As an African immigrant attending Florida Tech, I wasn't eligible for federal student loans. Getting money that you could pay back later seemed like such a gift. My parents had to make huge sacrifices to help send me to school. I couldn't understand why people complained about such a great benefit.

Then I graduated. And I watched my friends and loved ones who'd had to take out student loans get anchored down by debt they felt they'd never be able to pay off. Sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. They were working hard — getting jobs and doing side hustles — and it still wasn't enough. It seemed like it would never be enough.

I realized what they needed wasn't a better understanding of their finances or debt counseling. They needed money. They simply needed more money to pay off their debt.

So my co-founders and I set out to answer one big question: ✨How can we get student borrowers more cash?

At Dolr, we help student borrowers access additional sources of money through employer-sponsored repayment programs, cashback rewards, automated habits, and friends and family contributions.

If you have student loans, Dolr can speed your progress to $0 student debt so you can release that anchor and actually start building wealth.

✨Employer-sponsored student loan repayment assistance programs
✨Weekly micropayments to reduce the interest you pay
✨Streamlined contributions from family and friends
✨Cashback rewards from participating retailers

Start making a positive impact on your financial future.

What does it mean to you to live the life you want?

Is it having a job you enjoy? A partner you love? Kids? Time to travel the world? The ability to pursue a creative passion?

Are your finances standing in your way?

For many of us 🙋‍♀️ debt is a barrier to building the life we want. We can't see a future that doesn't include a big monthly debt payment. And that makes sense because for a lot of us, that student loan balance is BIG and OVERWHELMING.

That's why we started Dolr — to help people pay off their student loans faster so they can start building wealth (in every meaning of the word).

When you're leveraging micropayments, getting contributions from your employer, and getting rewards when you spend money, the balance doesn't feel quite so big or quite so overwhelming. The future feels a little more attainable.

So tell us in the comments: what does it mean to live the life you want?

Not everyone wants to refinance — whether that's because you don't want to lose access to federal benefits or because you're not happy with the actions of some private lenders.

Either way, you don't have to refinance your loans to make faster progress paying them off.

You have options.

1 - Make extra payments. Even micropayments like $25 a month make a difference to your final payoff date and the amount of interest you pay.

2 - Enroll in a student loan repayment assistance program. If your employer doesn't have one, DM us right now. We can reach out to them to share the benefits to employers (and keep you anonymous if you'd like).

3 - Ask for help from people who care about you. If you have a birthday coming up, ask for contributions to your student loans instead of gifts. Or if there's someone you know would like to see you succeed in paying your debt off, ask them to be a matching partner. For every extra $25 a month you pay, they'll match you with a contribution.
