A new app’s feature joins the ways people can give the gift of freedom from student loan debt.
If your loved one doesn’t want a sweater, a chance to unwind or a Baby Yoda this holiday season, you can now give the gift of wiping out some of their student loan debt.
More than 44 million Americans have student loan debt, amounting to $1.5 trillion. Any little leg up will probably be appreciated. Student debts are crimping career plans, standing in the way of starting families and forcing people to delay buying homes. Bloch declined to give user numbers, but said users have a combined $250 million in student debt. The app has saved its users more than $6,000 in averted interest payments by telling people when to make larger payments, he said.

They include: • LoanGifting. The site lets users create pages explaining their debts, their backstory and their ambitions. The users can then invite their contacts to view their page. The donations are transmitted to the user’s student loans accounts. Accounts are free to open, but the site deducts a 5% fee from each donation.
