Candidly has partnered with Fiducius, a provider of financial wellness benefits, to add tools for college savings and private student lending to the Fiducius platform.
The new relationship will allow Candidly to grow its solutions for planning and paying for college and, in turn, enable Fiducius to reach new employee populations. With the addition of Candidly’s student loan refinancing marketplace, both firms believe the collaboration will drive more value for Fiducius users adjusting their student debt repayment strategy amid ongoing changes at the Department of Education (DOE).
“Through our partnership with Fiducius, we are thrilled to reach and enable a larger audience of hard-working Americans to save for college, minimize the debt taken out to finance higher education, and access the lowest cost of capital to cover the gap when needed,” said Laurel Taylor, Candidly CEO and founder.
Fiducius will offer these Candidly features:
- 529 Plan Finder: provides a comprehensive and interactive way for users to discover and compare tax-advantaged college savings plans.
- Private Student Loan Finder: helps users discover and compare loan offers from a marketplace of private lenders.
- Student Loan Refinancing Finder: enables users to compare different lenders’ refinancing offers side-by-side to potentially find a lower interest rate or other more favorable terms.
“Rising college costs and numerous twists and turns in the student loan landscape underscore two of the most pressing financial wellness challenges faced by today’s workforce,” noted Jim Zedella, President and CEO at Fiducius. “With Candidly, we can empower our users to tackle those challenges. And in doing that, we can reach new users, strengthen engagement, and ultimately secure better results for our customers.”
