For Employers

A paycheck doesn’t guarantee financial health. But you can close the gap.

You know financially healthy employees improve your business. Yet there’s a gap between having a paycheck and having money. Delivering financial health means helping employees manage their finances and prepare for the future, so they can be their best selves. 

People aren’t dumb. The world is hard.

This quote, from Nobel Prize-winning behavioral economist Richard Thaler, is a rallying cry at Brightside.

We believe that your employees are working hard to be financially healthy. But traditional financial services are designed to profit off their struggles, instead of helping them stop struggling.

Having financially sick employees hurts your business.
