What Company Is Offering:
Fynanz has created an innovative marketplace where students can get one of the most competitive rates on private student loans. Students apply for a loan and it is funded by individual lenders – friends, family, alumni and others who believe what we believe – Education is the Best Investment!
Students: Receive the most competitive rate on your private student loans and save thousands in interest paid. You specify the rate, you control the process.
Parents: Help support your child’s education by funding a portion of your child’s loan and getting them the most competitive rates possible.
A private student loan where students receive competitive borrowing rates and lenders receive attractive long term rates on money lent.
Lenders: Receive an attractive interest rate over the long term while simultaneously performing a social good by building and improving the future of many students.
How It Works:
Fynanz is a community where a person can borrow and lend money, avoid traditional banks and receive better returns. Lenders are an important part of the Fynanz community. You not only finance loans and get attractive returns, but also help give students the most competitive interest rates.
Loans made through Fynanz will have the same loan terms as many other private student loans – between 10 to 25 years. For lenders this means you get more interest over the life of the loans and benefit for years to come. When you lend through Fynanz you also perform a social good. Lenders can get a healthy return on the loans made while knowing they are building and improving the future of many students.
Applying for and receiving a Fynanz OpenLoan is a simple and transparent process - fill out an application, set up a personal page and you're on your way. Best of all, you are in control of the process and aware of what's happening at every step.

Informational Sprouts are ideal for any organizations that need to keep their web site content fresh. Informational sprouts can be of any size and because they can include multiple pages they can pack a lot of content.
How It Works:
Building a sprout is easy. Choose from dozens of pre-built templates or start from scratch. Drag-and-drop shapes, text, images, video, and more. Then add components such as slideshows, jukeboxes, and countdown clocks, as well as interactive services such as chat (Meebo), phone (Ribbit), fundraising (ChipIn), and more. Once you’ve got your content in place, use advanced editing and navigation tools to perfect your sprout.
Publishing your sprout is easy, too! Just click “publish” and then cut and paste your sprout code into any Web page, or use the “quick post” feature to automatically place your sprout into blogs and social networking sites. For more advanced options, publish your sprout via any of our distribution partners, including Clearspring, Gigya, and Spring Widgets.
Once your sprout is published, your audience can copy and spread it to their Web pages and communities. You can then track usage stats such as how many copies were made, how many times your sprout was viewed, and more. You can also edit your Sprout, and ALL copies of your sprout will be instantly updated! Add or change content as needed to keep your audience engaged and informed.
