-A suite of student loan and higher education tools
-Personal finance calculators and a real-time budget tool
Enrich is used by more than 20,000 employers and more than 300 financial institutions nationwide, with artificial intelligence technology that engages each user with the most relevant content based on financial situation and stage of life.
The Enrich platform includes dynamic tools and courses, delivering a highly personalized and interactive learning experience on financial topics including student debt, mortgages, budgeting, investing, retirement and long-term care.
According to a 2021 Capital One CreditWise survey, 73 percent of Americans rank their finances as the most significant source of stress.
To combat financial stress, Enrich users are prompted to update their stress score regularly to gauge the correlation between improved financial wellness and stress levels. Recent Enrich data revealed that as participants improved financial understanding, their stress levels dropped by an average of 23 percent.
Additional Enrich data found positive behavior changes as a result of program participation, including:
-27 percent increase in users with emergency savings funds covering three to six months of expenses
-28 percent increase in users who pay their credit cards in full every month
-32 percent increase in users getting on track with their financial goals
-15 percent increase in users contributing to their retirement plan
