New partnership helps patients access financial donations faster
(PRUnderground) April 7th, 2025
The WiTT Group
, Inc. (WiTT), a digital health and fintech company, today announced a partnership with Highnote to launch a new debit card program designed to help patients facing high costs related to medical treatment. This partnership allows patients to more easily access financial donations received through WiTT, helping them cover essential services during treatment.
Many patients, particularly those in underserved and rural communities, struggle to afford essential services that can impact their ability to receive and maintain medical care. WiTT helps bridge this gap by giving patients the opportunity to request and receive financial assistance for non-clinical aspects of care – such as insurance copays, transportation and groceries – easing the burden of these everyday challenges.
“A significant number of at-risk patients lack access to essential services that many of us take for granted,” said Rahul Mahadevan, Founder & CEO of WiTT. “We created WiTT to alleviate some of the barriers patients face during treatment so they can focus on what truly matters – their health – and this partnership with Highnote helps expand our reach to more patients.”
Through WiTT’s partnership with Highnote, patients can now access and spend their financial donations via a physical or virtual debit card. Patients can enroll easily without needing a bank account, receive a card quickly, and access their funds faster than the typical timeline required with transferring funds to a bank account. This makes WiTT a valuable option for patients who may not have traditional banking access.
“This partnership is a perfect blend of technology and social impact,” said John MacIlwaine, CEO of Highnote. “Our payment platform ensures that patients using WiTT can securely and seamlessly access their financial donations, allowing them to obtain essential support services. We are proud to work with an organization like WiTT that is leveraging our financial solutions to make a real difference in people’s lives. ”
WiTT works by creating an easy-to-use platform where patients can create a personalized support registry tailored to their specific needs. They can invite family, friends, and coworkers to contribute or choose to make their registry public, enabling others to offer support. Unlike other fundraising sites that take a percentage of the funds raised, WiTT ensures that patients receive the full amount.
“Underserved, under-represented, patients struggle with access to services that many take for granted,” explained Jodi Satkunam, Executive Vice President of FinTech at the WiTT Group Inc. “By partnering with Highnote, we are providing patients with a new resource that will simplify their lives and support their treatment journey.”
