What it is
BrightPlan is an employer-provided financial wellness platform that combines budgeting tools, goal tracking, personalized guidance, financial education, and access to certified financial planners. Its AI Coach tailors real-time guidance to a user’s goals and financial profile, while employees can also connect with planners for what BrightPlan describes as unlimited, in-country advisor support. BrightPlan Academy delivers localized, translated learning through short lessons, deeper explorations, and guided paths. The service connects with employer programs such as 401(k)s, HSAs, equity compensation, and insurance benefits, and can be offered through HR technology systems in a white-labeled or co-branded format. Employers get dashboards and customizable reports, alongside engagement support that includes guided programs, contests, event help, and a dedicated account manager. BrightPlan is available on web, iOS, and Android. Employees can use it when their employer provides access; some organizations also extend access to dependents and family members. Pricing is on request.
