The America Saves Summit: Attacking the Savings Crisis took place on Wednesday, November 6, 2019 with engaged leaders representing a diverse group of industries, organizations and government agencies. We discussed the unique challenges their communities face in saving and offering thoughtful solutions to eliminating barriers while motivating Americans to save in the most effective manner – automatically.
We want to thank our speakers and panelists for investing their time and contributing their thoughts, experiences, and expertise. It was easy to see the value in such a meeting of minds and open discussion, and we're excited to see the impact of our collective solutions for everyday Americans.
By sharing personal stories, customer and audience experiences, and both current and planned efforts to encourage Americans to save, you inspired creative new ways to reach millions of Americans with one common goal: the ability to become more financially secure through saving automatically.
