Securian Teams With Dave Ramsey to Offer SmartDollar
Financial services firm Securian has teamed with Dave Ramsey, a well-known author and radio show host, to offer SmartDollar, a financial education platform for retirement plan sponsors.
SmartDollar, created by Ramsey Solutions, offers video lessons, coaching and other resources to improve the retirement readiness of employees.
More info from a Securian press release:
Ramsey Solutions’ SmartDollar provides participants with online tools and interactive lessons designed to build retirement readiness. SmartDollar’s mission is to help participants change their behavior towards money and, in turn, use their largest wealth-building tool—their income—to save and invest instead of paying consumer debt.
Key features of the SmartDollar program include on-demand video lessons, educational materials and coaching, regular communication to participants to take action, and aggregate reporting that enables plan sponsors to track progress.
Employees will link to the SmartDollar website directly through Securian’s enhanced retirement plan participant website, launching this fall.
