Salesforce

Obstacle

Financial wellness benefits are a no-brainer in the modern workplace. But offering inclusive financial wellness benefits is easier said than done.

Opportunity

As the second most common form of consumer debt, student debt spans every age, gender, race, income, lifestage, and profession.

Outcome

Salesforce Inc.’s partnership with Candidly has enabled the software giant to:

Break through to employees across every cohort
Achieve record impact with historically high-turnover populations: women, people of color, and software engineers
Empower employees to reduce their student debt balance by over $2.38 million and 151 years

American Eagle Outfitters

Obstacle

With more than 35,000 US-based employees, finding benefits that resonate with diverse cohorts is a challenge — and with record-high turnover rates straining the retail industry, overcoming it is critical.

Opportunity

Nationwide, 7 in 10 of college-educated adults have student debt — and AEO associates are no exception.

Outcome

AEO’s partnership with Candidly has enabled the retailer to:

Implement a flexible, tiered program design that creates value for all employee cohorts — without overextending budget or compromising ROI
Deliver meaningful support at scale with personalized services
Support every step of associates’ unique journeys, no matter their goals or background

Fiserv

Obstacle

Fiserv delivers technology that powers thousands of community banks and credit unions. These institutions are interested in offering new and differentiated services that meet the financial realities of people’s lives.

Opportunity

Millions of student loan borrowers already have accounts with these banks and credit unions, and millions more could be won over by an institution that can support their student financing and repayment journey.

Outcome

The Fiserv partnership with Candidly enables community banks and credit unions to:

Deepen relationships with current account holders by offering highly relevant services for their financial needs
Break through to new populations – especially as younger generations become the top spenders, savers and investors
Deliver a seamless, white-labeled digital experience that sets the bar for consumer-facing fintech

UBS

Obstacle

UBS has long been a leader in workplace financial services — and staying one step ahead of evolving needs is key to maintaining its competitive edge.

Opportunity

Innovative, personalized student loan services create pathways for more end-users to build financial wellness — and for UBS to increase its relevance among all generations, income levels, business sizes, and industries.

Outcome

UBS Financial Wellness gives access to Candidly’s innovative student loan repayment platform to:

Complement existing financial wellness offerings with a trusted and comprehensive student loan solution
Expand reach for immediate impact while also cultivating sustainable engagement as part of a pathway for financial independence and well-being
