What We’re Up To
In Nelnet’s technology department, every day is different. Our teams work from ideation to execution, and we’re always looking toward the next big development. Below are some of the exciting business lines in our technology department.
Payment Technology
Nelnet is adding several value-added features to its existing payment platform, with the overriding goal of broadening the way people accept payments. Processing a payment from a computer or phone is commonplace, but we want to take it a step further. As part of this initiative, Nelnet Payment Services is exploring check and cryptocurrency payments as a tool for merchants.
Community Engagement
Community engagement requires focus on participation, managing numerous tasks, and marketing and communications. Nelnet makes it all easier by creating digital tools with Aware3 to help churches and nonprofits drive generosity, increase engagement, and fulfill their missions. Nelnet’s partnership with CD2™ Learning also lets you customize the most engaging content for your learners, update courses, and create new ones for a personalized experience.
Financial Services Technology
Nelnet offers the most flexible and highly configurable solution in the financial services industry – Nelnet Velocity™. This solution is cutting-edge, ultra-configurable technology that offers you a partnership and an opportunity to design the best solution, integrated and optimized with your preferred marketing and customer experience flows.
