For the first time, companies can offer a simple personal savings benefit that gives workers the freedom to save for whatever they want, get a match, and take out money whenever they need it without restrictions. Our product creates FDIC-backed savings accounts for workers, integrates with payroll processes to deduct directly from paychecks, automates allocations to their goals, deposits interest at a rate that’s 10x the national average, and conducts quarterly matches based on the respective worker's savings behavior and attributes, effectively gamifying the act of saving.

 

We started this product motivated by our own personal experience, and we realized we weren’t alone – only 29% of Americans are financially healthy. And 100M+ workers don’t really take advantage of retirement savings benefits. Workers told us that current employer-sponsored savings options like 401(k) and 529 programs are too restrictive, inaccessible, or difficult to navigate. This sentiment manifests at the company level through poor 401(k) participation (e.g., a 5,000-worker company with <10% participation), high loans from 401(k) programs, and attrition.

 

Companies and workers are looking for a savings product that’s accessible, flexible, and simple. This is exactly what SDF delivers.
