Our Process
Two Ways we put our benefit experience to work for you
Student Loan financial planning
This is where it Begins for all of our benefits
What it is
Technology is great, but when it comes to financial services products, we know that employees need more. That’s why our service combines a proprietary technology platform with real people who are financial experts. Working together with our MyFiducius portal, our Advisors provide the support employees need to address their unique situation, become fully educated and then take action. STARTING POINT
Why it Matters
For employees, our Student Loan Financial Planning service ensures we have no bias and always act in the best interest of the individual borrower by recommending the right loan restructuring solution. Through this service, we also develop relationships with borrowers which extend over years, providing on-going financial guidance and supporting retention goals.
Household Income
Income affects eligibility for programs like PSLF and setting income driven repayments (IDRs)
Student Loans
Borrowers often have 8-10 loans, with each impacting options to restructure
Tax Filing Status
The timing and type of filing (single vs. joint) can make a big difference with an IDR
Retirement Planning
Our process increases new and additional participation in these plans by 45%
Pre-tax Benefits
Contributions to pre-tax benefits will lower an IDR by reducing income
Family Planning
Family size also affects the amount of an IDR, including children on the way
Childcare Savings
This common expense for working parents can also impact income
Educational Goals
Whether in school or thinking about going back, it matters for benefit eligibility
And Much More...
Don't be overwhelmed! The experts at Fiducius understand all the factors which can impact loan restructuring options.
