Higher One’s service model is unique in the market today. The company capitalizes on the ubiquity of the Internet to provide banking services, rather than relying on conventional bank branch networks. Because of this, they can service institutions nationwide and can maintain the same level of service to account holders when they leave campus for the summer or to study abroad.
