We are proud to share that Candidly has been named to Fast Company's list of the world's Most Innovative Companies for 2024. 🚀 80% of Americans with student loans prioritize paying down their college debt over saving for retirement — a tradeoff with devastating consequences for long-term financial security. So when lawmakers first proposed a policy to enable employers to match workers' student loan payments with retirement contributions, we started developing the technology needed to bring such a program to life. And as a result of our proactive stance and steadfast willingness to make big bets in borrowers' best interest, Candidly was ready to help stakeholders operationalize the legislation from the moment it became law on January 1, 2024. Our SECURE 2.0-compliant Student Loan Retirement Match solution is just one example of how innovation drives impact at Candidly, and one of many reasons why we're so proud to be recognized among the world's Most Innovative Companies.

Candidly team spotlight 🌟👏 Carmen Perez (she/her), Senior AI Product Manager at Candidly, took to the stage at the NYSE at the Young Women’s Financial Wellness Forum earlier this week. As a featured speaker at the event presented by Seneca Women, Carmen shared insights from her own financial wellness journey and offered her advice to help high school and college-aged women build financial security, stability, and wealth.
I'm deeply honored to have spoken at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today for the second time, addressing 150 young women at the Financial Wellness Forum organized by Seneca Women. What a privilege to share critical financial lessons about budgeting, saving, investing, and debt in general that I wish I had access to at their age. I was humbled to share the stage with such accomplished leaders: Sharon Bowen, NYSE Chairwoman - a true pioneer who made history as both the first Black woman appointed as CFTC Commissioner and the first woman and Black person to chair the NYSE. To be in the same room as someone who has made history and continues to make it, truly leaves me in awe. Kim Azzarelli, Co-founder of Seneca Women - whose global leadership platform continues to advance opportunities for women and girls worldwide. Thank you for making space for such an incredibly impactful event. Director Ventris Gibson of the U.S. Mint - bringing her invaluable expertise to the conversation. Another history maker by being the first Black Director of the U.S. Mint. Marsha Barnes, CFT,CFSW, CFT,CFSW, Founder of The Finance Bar - a fellow personal finance educator and influential leader who continues to transform the personal finance space. The energy and enthusiasm from these young women was truly inspiring. Their engagement and eagerness to learn about financial empowerment gives me great hope for the future. Thank you to Candidly for supporting my participation in this year's event. And thank you to Seneca Women for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful initiative, helping to set these bright young minds on a path toward financial success.
