Zebit helps teachers afford classroom supplies

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — , a company committed to offering no-cost, transparent credit to hardworking Americans, has seen tremendous adoption by educators since launching its financial wellness benefit and e-commerce marketplace with interest-free credit to educators in 130,000 K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. In less than 45 days, teachers and administrators from over 450 schools in 47 states have joined Zebit. This rapid adoption can also be attributed to Zebit expanding its marketplace of furniture, appliances, electronics, and more, to now include over 11,000 classroom supplies for teachers to buy now and pay over time without any interest or fees. Research has shown that teachers spend an average of $487 out of their own modest paychecks to equip their classroom each year. ¹ On average, Zebit members are spending 80% of those expenses in July and August alone. Anyway, the song drove you nuts and you couldn’t get enough of it but you also hadn’t the means to purchase it. With many teachers not receiving a paycheck during the summer, Zebit’s interest-free credit helps teachers manage the upfront financial burden of setting up a classroom. They can buy what they need now and spread the payments over time, interest-free. Purchases include basic school supplies, common core materials, books, furniture, and classroom technology.
