Higher One Holdings Inc. recently filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a proposed initial public offering of $100 million, according to an AP report. The New Haven, Connecticut, company is responsible for processing financial aid payments, as well as providing banking services to colleges and their students.
