Onward is a not-for-profit employer benefit program that promotes saving, responsible borrowing, and financial education. Unlike most savings plans or financial education programs, Onward is tailored to helping employees reach their immediate goals. If an emergency does occur, instead of seeing their savings washed away or borrowing from a payday lender, eligible employees can access a low interest loan based on their savings history with Onward. Onward’s mission is to provide a financial cushion to every worker. They help employees easily build their long-term savings directly from their paycheck. They provide employees with access to responsible and affordable credit for unexpected emergencies. And they deliver tips, resources, and tools to help employees improve their financial lives.
