Help a Loved One Get Out of Debt Sooner
You're here to help someone experience life without debt, and we're here to make it easy! To set up an account with Changed:
1. Create a Changed account using your name and email. We create an FDIC-insured account in your name, not your loved one's.
2. Enter your loved one's loan info.
3. Link your accounts. Select your preferred funding account for Changed to make transfers from.
A Step-by-Step Guide
Set it up once and we take care of the rest!
Starting with the Basics
Like any good relationship, we need to get to know you
To create and set up your personal FDIC-insured Changed savings account, we need some personal info. Enter your legal name, date of birth, phone number, and address. Your info will never be used for anything else other than setting up your account.
Next, add your loved one's loan info
Link all loans directly and securely
Securely link all of your loved one's loans to Changed. Once connected, choose which account you want to pay down first. It's that easy. We cover all loan servicers and offer a manual way to add lenders that aren't covered with direct linking.
Then, add accounts you want to save from
Securely link your bank and spending accounts
Last, securely link your bank and spending accounts. Select your preferred funding account for Changed to transfer funds. Changed analyzes roundups from multiple accounts and will transfer from one selected account.
Setup Is That Easy!
