Gradible (acquired by CommonBond Inc - July 2016)

Gradible was founded in 2013 with a mission to help individuals pay down student loan debt faster through employer contributions and "round-up" programs on everyday purchases. In July 2016, the company was acquired by CommonBond Inc., a prominent financial technology company focused on the student lending market. CommonBond integrated Gradible's technology to expand its services to include employer-sponsored student loan benefits. CommonBond's primary business was originating and refinancing student and personal loans. However, in April 2022, CommonBond announced it was winding down its loan operations and would no longer be originating new loans. Existing loans continue to be serviced by their partner, Firstmark Services.
