We build solutions to make people financially secure.
About us
Too many people in the U.S. today lack financial stability. Too many people are financially vulnerable. For people to pursue their full potential, we need more wealth – of opportunity, of tools, of financial assets – and we need that wealth to be more widespread. We aspire to accomplish that by building innovative solutions that make people financially secure. We collaborate with consumers, the financial services industry, policy makers, and mission-driven organizations to discover ideas, pilot solutions, and drive innovations to scale so wealth can become possible for everyone. We Work with Industry We understand broad change requires market players to act. We apply consumer insight and business acumen to build solutions that our industry partners scale. Our partners trust us to deliver solutions that are aligned with business objectives and good corporate citizenship, and are good for consumers. The solutions we build are grounded in real life, based on our deep understanding of people who are financially vulnerable and how businesses can best serve them. We envision a financial services marketplace that works for everyone. We are Policy Driven Policymakers trust us to deliver insights that are data-driven, bipartisan, practical and effective. Our policy work includes collaborating with government to find ways to eliminate regulatory barriers, to craft and protect policies that enable broad access to the financial system, and to deliver essential consumer tools at scale. We envision a financial system that works for everyone. We Work with the Social Sector We partner with other mission-driven organizations to understand consumers, pilot and test solutions, and pursue scale opportunities that deliver meaningful social impact. We envision a social sector engaged in building financial opportunity for everyone.

Offering emergency savings benefits is a critical part of a thriving, financially secure workforce. As part of BlackRock's Emergency Savings Initiative's new Emergency Savings Impact video series, we went behind the scenes with partner GXO Logistics, Inc. to meet real people saving for a rainy day. Meet Freda, a human resource specialist at GXO (and mom!), who opened an emergency savings account. #EmergencySavings #FinancialSecurity #WealthBuilding #WorkplaceBenefits #ESISavingsImpact Gabriel Q.

“We believe that employee benefits - specifically financial benefits- are a dramatically underutilized tool to ensure employee wages foster financial security and resilience.” This quote by Commonwealth’s CEO Timothy Flacke is central to his presentation at Home Care 100. With employers losing an estimated $250 billion a year in lost wages due to employees' stress about their personal finances, Tim invited those in the audience the opportunity to partner together on a focused opportunity: to ensure the benefits offered are optimized to support and retain employees. #HomeCare100 #WorkplaceBenefits #WorkplaceSolutions #FinancialSecurity #FinancialHealth #HumanResources #HomeHealthCare #LongTermCare #Productivity #HumanResources #Leadership #ImpactfulLeaders.
