Announcing Secure, the first Emergency Savings Benefit Solely Focused on Helping Employees Save for an Emergency

SEATTLE, Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Americans have long struggled with building and maintaining short-term savings, with a Federal Reserve survey showing that almost 40 percent of participants wouldn't be able to cover an unexpected $400 expense using cash*. COVID-19 has made this savings crisis inarguably worse, with nearly 9 in 10 Americans saying it has caused stress on their personal finances** .

Now a solution is in sight, announcing Secure, a new startup company solely focused on helping people save for an emergency and navigate unexpected expenses and financial situations through a new type of employer benefits program.

“We set out to develop a solution that makes it easy for people to build and maintain an emergency savings fund. We have made it our mission to help people save for the unexpected and better navigate financial hardships,” said Devin Miller, co-founder and CEO.

"Our team has lived through our own personal financial ups and downs, and we know what financial stress looks and feels like. Once the pandemic hit in March, we felt that this solution would be needed now more than ever. We set out to develop a solution that makes it easy for people to build and maintain an emergency savings fund. Working with a rapidly growing number of individuals, employers, benefit providers, and advocacy groups, we've designed the perfect emergency savings program to address this crisis once and for all," said Devin Miller, co-founder and CEO of Secure.

Employers have realized the importance of providing financial wellness benefits in recent years, and several programs exist to help employees better manage finances and reduce stress. However, none of these current programs directly address assisting employees with building and maintaining emergency savings funds. Secure's scalable program does just that, giving immediate access to funds in case of an emergency while reducing stress and improving their financial resiliency.

"After researching the industry, we found an astounding need for a simple solution to the massive emergency savings problem. We have made it our mission to help people save for the unexpected and better navigate financial hardships," adds Miller.

The concept of employer emergency savings accounts (ESAs) has been gaining traction in 2020, with COVID-19 ramping up both the need and awareness. An increasing number of companies see the benefit of facing employee financial stress head-on by offering workers an opportunity to automatically save a portion of every paycheck in an employer-sponsored emergency savings account (ESA). Secure is different in its ease of set up, use, and sole focus on emergency savings. It taps into what the industry is beginning to see, that emergency savings are the next major category of benefit due to its high potential impact and comparably low cost of supporting the program.

For Employers: The Benefit of using Secure to Power an Emergency Savings Program
The reasons companies should consider adding Secure and an emergency savings program to their repertoire of employee benefits are many, including:

  • Reduce distractions and increase productivity
  • Better recruit and retain top talent
  • Companion to existing long-term retirement savings programs
  • Significant impact at low cost
  • Be responsive to the stress of these uncertain times

Offering Secure helps companies looking for a high impact financial wellness program or short-term savings option to accompany their retirement plan benefits. Emergency savings is proving highly popular with employees, with a recent AARP research study showing 70% of employees surveyed saying they would participate in an emergency savings program, with over 85% saying they would if there was some form of employer match or incentive to save***.    

Overall, Secure presents any employer the ability to make a significant impact for a low comparable cost. Employer emergency savings accounts have the power to change the way employees face finances by giving them the tools they need to create financial peace of mind. This benefit is a low-cost, easy-to-maintain program that will have a big impact on your employees so they can focus their efforts on doing their jobs well.

For Employees: The Benefit of Contributing to Employer Emergency Savings Accounts
Those who are stressed about their finances know that having an emergency fund could solve many of their problems but are often hindered by the manual process of setting up a savings account and learning to set aside hard-earned money each month. Taking part in a Secure emergency savings program offered by their employer can solve many of those problems, including:

  • Easy one-time setup
  • Automated savings through payroll deferrals
  • No maintenance fees
  • Easily access cash at any time, for any reason without restrictions, approvals, or delay
  • Potential rewards for meeting savings goals
  • Less stress over financial security
  • Support, content and alternative support to navigate unexpected hardships

In early 2021, Secure will begin deploying its innovative Emergency Savings program to employers who signed up as early adapters. Now enrollment is open to all employers, to join the wait list or to schedule a demo, visit https://securesave.co/.

Today, Secure introduces a research paper into the topic of emergency savings as an employer benefit titled Employer Emergency Savings Accounts: Why Employers are Helping Employees Save for Emergencies to download a copy visit https://securesave.co/.

About Secure
Headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, Secure is a financial technology platform designed to help individuals build emergency savings through an employer benefits platform. It was co-founded by Devin Miller and Bassam Saliba, former technology and finance industry executives, who realized that emergency savings needed to be easier and more accessible to help solve the growing savings crisis in the US. Secure's emergency savings program makes an immediate impact on employee lives; by increasing financial wellness through a program that is easy to deploy and manage at low cost of ownership for the employer. Most of all, it is well received and accepted as adding value to working for a company that cares. To learn more about the company, visit the website at https://securesave.co.
