About us
Too many people in the U.S. today lack financial stability. Too many people are financially vulnerable. For people to pursue their full potential, we need more wealth – of opportunity, of tools, of financial assets – and we need that wealth to be more widespread. We aspire to accomplish that by building innovative solutions that make people financially secure. We collaborate with consumers, the financial services industry, policy makers, and mission-driven organizations to discover ideas, pilot solutions, and drive innovations to scale so wealth can become possible for everyone. We Work with Industry We understand broad change requires market players to act. We apply consumer insight and business acumen to build solutions that our industry partners scale. Our partners trust us to deliver solutions that are aligned with business objectives and good corporate citizenship, and are good for consumers. The solutions we build are grounded in real life, based on our deep understanding of people who are financially vulnerable and how businesses can best serve them. We envision a financial services marketplace that works for everyone. We are Policy Driven Policymakers trust us to deliver insights that are data-driven, bipartisan, practical and effective. Our policy work includes collaborating with government to find ways to eliminate regulatory barriers, to craft and protect policies that enable broad access to the financial system, and to deliver essential consumer tools at scale. We envision a financial system that works for everyone. We Work with the Social Sector We partner with other mission-driven organizations to understand consumers, pilot and test solutions, and pursue scale opportunities that deliver meaningful social impact. We envision a social sector engaged in building financial opportunity for everyone.

“It is increasingly urgent to address the gender gap in retirement security,” states a new report from U.S. Department of the Treasury examining the state of women’s retirement security. We couldn’t agree more! We are honored to have Commonwealth research from our work on BlackRock’s Emergency Savings Initiative cited in their report, “Spotlighting Women’s Retirement Security.” Our research shows that having lower or no liquid savings increases the likelihood that workers will pause or reduce contributions to retirement savings.

As part of BlackRock’s Emergency Savings Initiative, we love to see emergency savings take center stage!

Join us for an impactful discussion at the Fintech Sandbox Innovation Forum during #BostonFintechWeek on Thursday, October 17th at 1:30pm on "The Lifelong Journey: Empowering Financial Well-being & Innovations in Workplace Benefits." At a time when millions of LMI workers—especially workers of color—face challenges in achieving financial wellness, we’ll explore how workplace benefits can be redesigned to serve all employees, not just the highly compensated. With insights from leading fintech companies and research from Commonwealth, we'll dive into inclusive solutions that drive financial security and wealth-building for low to moderate income workers (LMI). 💡 Why does this matter? Workers under financial stress can have negative impacts on employers: higher turnover, lower engagement, and lost productivity. But inclusively designed benefits can empower LMI workers to achieve long-term financial wellness, building security and stability throughout their careers. 🔑 What you'll learn: How innovative fintech solutions are reshaping workplace benefits to ensure that financial well-being and security are attainable for everyone, regardless of income. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a conversation that matters!
