Brightside offers a unique, human-centric approach to employee financial wellness, but it's only available as an employer-sponsored benefit and its value depends on employee engagement.


A financial wellness benefit pairing employees with a dedicated Financial Assistant to reduce financial stress and improve financial health.

Brightside is a financial wellness solution offered by employers as a benefit to their employees.

For employees, Brightside provides support for managing debt, building emergency savings, navigating student loans, and improving daily cash flow.
