I think it's very important for college students to have the Arbol app. As someone who has never had the opportunity to learn how to manage money in high school, I know firsthand this is a useful tool for first generation college students.

An Empathic Approach

Built with a purpose

Arbol's platform embodies the firsthand experiences of its co-founders, who are first-generation college graduates and have encountered financial challenges themselves.

As part of the University at Buffalo incubator program and with a college campus advisory board, Arbol is deeply integrated into the academic community, continuously refining its services to better serve students and institutions alike.
