Kasasa – Gabe Krajicek

This company provides Loan Payoff Scheduling and how it impacts the loan payoff timeline. The program calculates this for one-time payments or increasing your payments to your loan. This is nothing new, however…
This type of program allows you to remove some of your additional payoffs as a loan at the original interest rate that you started with.
Payoff your debt principal ahead of time with the option to get that money back on its normal loan schedule.
This encourages those in debt to pay down there loans without the worry of an emergency happening and not having savings to cover that emergency or cash flow need. You will always be able to tap into your additional pay down amount and receive the same interest rate as the original loan.
