Washington, DC, May 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HelloWallet, a financial guidance company that provides its online services as a benefit for workers at major employers, committed today that, with the support of Marsh & McLennan Companies, it will provide 20,000 free two year subscriptions to non-profit and government organizations. These subscriptions will help displaced workers, teachers serving high-need schools, and people in underserved communities manage their financial responsibilities and save more. Announced as part of the White House Summit on Financial Capability & Empowerment, this commitment is worth more than $4 million and is expected to generate more than $20 million in new savings for families and individuals.
"HelloWallet was founded to make honest, relevant, and affordable financial guidance available to all Americans," said HelloWallet Founder & CEO Matt Fellowes. "We are pleased to be doing our part to help those most in need make the most of their money and prepare for the future."
Using cutting-edge behavioral economics and mobile and web-based technologies, HelloWallet engages workers at five times the rate of traditional financial counseling at a quarter of the cost. Marsh & McLennan Companies and other leading employers that make HelloWallet available to their workers have seen savings commitments among users increase by 80% or more within a few months.
