Modern Savings Benefits That Tackle Educators' Biggest Financial Challenges
Recent studies indicate that financial insecurity is a leading cause of educator turnover. By providing targeted financial wellness benefits, school districts can better support their staff, improve retention, and strengthen their recruitment efforts. Educators can now access:

• Emergency Savings Accounts – A dedicated cushion for unexpected expenses, helping staff manage financial shocks without turning to high-interest debt.
• Student Loan Contributions – Contribute directly to educators' student loans, accelerating debt reduction and supporting long-term financial wellness.
• Employer Matching for Student Loan Repayment- Help educators with student loans save for retirement with matching contributions.
• 403(b) Retirement Plans – A modernized approach to long-term savings, providing educators with user-friendly tools to secure their financial future.

By delivering all four benefits on one unified platform, Vestwell eliminates the complexity of managing multiple providers and systems, allowing school districts to offer a more competitive and impactful benefits package with ease. This unmatched solution empowers educators to take control of their financial well-being—both today and in the future.

"Educators face real financial stress—from surprise expenses to long-term student debt," said Al Otto, CEO of PlanScope360™. "By offering emergency savings and student loan matching, we're giving school districts tools that directly support their people—and keep great staff in the classroom."

"We're proud to partner with PlanScope360 to bring meaningful, comprehensive savings tools to the education space," said Aaron Schumm, Founder and CEO of Vestwell. "Our shared vision is rooted in providing a holistic suite of solutions that empowers individuals to actively save and plan across all dimensions of their financial lives.
