Vestwell, self-described as "The Modern Savings Platform," is a New York City-based fintech founded in 2016 by Aaron Schumm. The platform provides cloud-based recordkeeping and administration infrastructure for employer-sponsored retirement and savings plans, including Safe Harbor and traditional 401(k), Solo(k), Starter(k), and 403(b) plans, alongside adjacent benefits such as 529 education savings, student loan repayment, tuition reimbursement, emergency savings, and ABLE disability savings accounts. Vestwell serves three main audiences: employers who want to offer retirement benefits without heavy administrative burden, financial advisors and TPAs who build white-labeled retirement practices on Vestwell's infrastructure, and state governments that use Vestwell to power state-sponsored auto-IRA programs. The company integrates with 190+ payroll providers and reports serving hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of savers across the United States.
