Vestwell Announces Multilingual Savings Platform 

Vestwell launched a multilingual savings platform that will offer retirement plan participants and sponsors engagement in 18 languages. The company said the platform is meant to reflect the current workforce and assist more workers by engaging in their preferred language.  

“Too often, language gets in the way of people taking the first step toward saving,” said Aaron Schumm, CEO of Vestwell, in a statement. “This launch is about removing that friction—giving every saver a clearer, more comfortable path to engage, participate, and build financial security over time. It’s one more step toward a system that works for everyone, not just a few.”
