Creating a more secure financial future for everyone.

Until now, legacy 401(k) providers have controlled the retirement industry. These old-fashioned companies have prices that can make a retirement plan unattainable for almost half of the workforce -- those at America’s 32.5 million small businesses.

Human Interest is here to shake things up. Our modern 401(k) solution comes with less complexity and no transaction fees. We’re empowering employees of small and midsize businesses to invest in their future.

Shedding new light on the retirement industry

Our customers are closing the gap

401(k) benefits can help employers give their workers a path to access financial security. Our proprietary technology helps do the heavy lifting, seamlessly integrating with 200+ payroll providers. 

Together, we’re partnering to close the retirement savings gap and help employees who otherwise could be at risk of not saving enough to take steps toward a more secure financial future.

Headlines are only half the story.

Data published by legacy 401(k) providers may paint a rosy picture of retirement savings in the US, but those numbers don't always include employees at smaller businesses who haven't had access to a saving plan at work. Employers and employees at small and midsize businesses have said they want 401(k)s in their benefits packages, and Human Interest is listening. Our Retirement Roadbloacks survey sheds light on the state of retirement planning on Main Street America.
