And, while the landscape grew even more complex in 2024 through servicer disruptions and federal programs being pulled on and off the shelf on what felt like a daily basis, our mission became even clearer - to be the calm amidst the chaos and confusion, serving hard working Americans through a high tech and/or a high touch approach, depending upon their preferences. Through our partnerships with industry leaders, we achieved extraordinary impact: **$1.8B in projected student debt impact **Pioneered SECURE 2.0 implementation, enabling employees to turn student loan payments into retirement savings. Powered by Candidly's technology, the translation of this broad bipartisan policy into practice brought 13% of your workforce into retirement savings for the first time, while driving a 27% increase in employees maximizing their contributions. Bravo!! **Launched Onward, our API-first holistic debt optimization solution for the entire liabilities side of the balance sheet. To our employer partners: thank you for your bold leadership.
