Cushon has partnered with employee benefits platform Cloud8 to provide savings and investments to the SME market.
Cloud8 will offer Cushon products on its BEAM at Work platform, designed for advisers to use and licence to their clients. This offers a range of benefits, via a preferred partner panel, potentially reducing costs for the SME market.
Announcing this partnership both Cushon and Cloud8 said this partnership would help more employees of all ages to become financial resilient, whether they are saving for their first home or saving for retirement.
Cloud8 says Cushon’s net zero pension proposition will appeal to the growing number of employees who are now more environmentally aware when it comes to their investments.
Cloud8 client strategy director Dipa Mistry-Kandola says: “Our software offers some really exciting benefits to advisors who license our platform.
“As well as offering traditional core benefits, they can now offer their clients a full package of benefits to meet the needs of a varied employee demographic. It also allows them to give their clients access to market-leading products at preferential provider rates with a simple set up process – which is key when running a small advisory firm.
“This a digital package which rivals the expensive, full-service platforms and is a brilliant alternative to flex, which remains out of reach for many.
“Offering Cushon via our platform, corporate advisors and consultants can now bring these services to their whole client-base at no additional cost as part of the simple deployment with beam.”
Ben Pollard, CEO and founder at Cushon adds: “Through BEAM at Work, employers and their employees will be able to access Cushon’s app-first workplace savings as well as the world’s first net zero now pension.
