Following Gusto's acquisition of Guideline, Vestwell will serve the employers and employees whose 401(k) plans were not part of the Gusto transaction—expanding access to modern, payroll-connected savings solutions. The move meaningfully expands Vestwell’s national footprint and strengthens its position as the preferred partner for payroll providers, financial institutions, and government programs. Once complete, Vestwell will also serve Accrue 401k clients accessing their plans through major payroll platforms such as Intuit QuickBooks, Rippling, Paylocity, Deel, Square, OnPay, BambooHR, and Check-powered solutions.
"If we're going to close the $50 trillion savings gap in the U.S., saving needs to be synonymous with earning," said Aaron Schumm, founder and CEO of Vestwell. "Payroll connectivity is the foundation for workplace savings. Automatic integrations ensure employees can save effortlessly, and employers can offer instrumental benefits without added complexity. We appreciate the work Guideline has done to support small businesses, and we are committed to carrying that mission forward on their behalf through our nearly 200 payroll providers."
