Innovation in Saving for College, SoFi at Work Adds 529 Contributions

Our vision for SoFi at Work—our suite of tools, products, and resources for employees made available via their workplace benefits or wellbeing programs—is to help build financial wellness across a company’s entire workforce and for every stage of life.

We have made significant strides in this mission through special programs for employer contributions to help pay down student loans as well as special rates on student loan refinancing. The latest innovation to the SoFi at Work program adds 529 college savings plan contributions.
