Turn rewards into real financial support

About 60% of teachers carry student loans averaging $30,000. Kina designed the first program of its kind to help educators pay it off faster.

By allowing teachers to convert their points into student loan payments, Kina turns appreciation into tangible impact, helping teachers stay in the profession they love.

When teachers redeem points towards their student loan payments, Kina automatically matches an additional 25%, multiplying the impact.

Result: Driving REAL retention for our school partners

Small gestures add up to big impact

The average family can earn $500+ in rewards annually with Kina. When 10 families each share just $15/month of their rewards, that’s $1,800 a year to support their teacher who makes a difference.

When teachers redeem points towards their student loan payments, Kina automatically matches an additional 25%, multiplying the impact.

It is equivalent to a 6% boost in take-home pay, at no cost to your school.
