Lincoln Financial is adding a marketplace feature to its financial wellness program for participants in its plans that will connect individuals with partner companies that offer solutions to help improve financial wellness.

The platform offers users options to plan, borrow, repay and reassess their debt, and provides support and assistance with federal student loan forgiveness programs and applications.
