Milliman, a Seattle-based benefits administration firm, has added the SecureSave emergency savings program to the financial wellness services it offers to its retirement plan clients.
The financial technology platform allows participants to build emergency savings through an employer benefits platform. Through SecureSave’s platform, employees can set up free emergency personal savings accounts through payroll deductions, receive matched contributions from their employer, and access their money whenever they need it.
The SecureSave user saves an average of $103 a month toward an emergency savings account, Milliman said in a release.
