Improve Employee Financial Wellness and Stability

It’s no secret that employee financial wellness increases employee retention, satisfaction, and productivity. 

Identity Protection and Credit Building are two HIGH-IMPACT financial wellness benefits employees are seeking from their employers. 

With FreeKick you can provide both benefits for FREE to your employees. 

Identity Protection

  • Half of all employees want help from their employer getting identity protection services.1 
  • More than half of employees have reported theft of sensitive personal information.2 
  • Almost 70% of HR professionals say that identity theft benefits are growing in importance and are evaluating identity theft coverage as an employee perk to allow them to compete in hiring and retaining employees.3 

Identity theft is rampant, and everyone needs identity protection – including adults and children. ID protection is expensive for employees to buy themselves, costing a family $350 to $700 per year, or costing an employer more than $150 per employee per year if purchased as part of an employee benefits package. 

Providing FREE Identity Protection and Credit Monitoring saves your employees money and improves their financial and mental wellbeing. 

Credit Building

Having a strong credit profile can dramatically improve your employees’ financial stability. 

In one study of employer offered credit building benefits:4 

  • After 18 months, 71% of all employees in the program improved their credit scores 
  • The number of employees with a prime score increased by 30% 
  • Employees with at least $1,000 of available credit on one or more credit cards increased by 41% 

Having access to non-predatory credit can dramatically improve employees’ financial wellness and employment stability. 

Sixty percent of employees actively want their employer to offer emergency savings as a workplace benefit, with high interest among younger workers and workers of color.5 

  • FreeKick’s credit builder account helps employees build a rainy day emergency savings fund
