Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), is a leading health, wealth, and investment company with approximately 9,000 employees who are focused on achieving Voya鈥s aspirational vision: Clearing your path to financial confidence and a more fulfilling life. Through products, solutions, and technologies, Voya helps its 14.7 million individual, workplace, and institutional clients become well planned, well invested and well protected.
Voya launched the myVoyage mobile app with the Personalized Enrollment Guidance tool to help employees more effectively choose their benefits during open enrollment and use them throughout the year. However, without the ability to see the interconnections between their benefits and financial accounts, Voya found that employees were often at risk of being either over or underinsured.
鈥淲别 found that 1 in 3 employees don鈥t understand the benefits that they鈥re enrolled in and that can result in people being over-insured and maybe even paying higher premiums,鈥 said Josh Kehoe, Assistant Vice President, Digital Product Management at Voya Financial.
As Voya developed the myVoyage experience, the company wanted to provide users with proactive insights to help drive engagement, as well as enable them to connect their financial accounts to gain a holistic picture of all their workplace benefits and finances.
In addition, Voya also recognized the risks of leveraging screen scraping and third-party APIs to enable connections to external accounts, and was looking for a more secure solution.
Voya integrated 糖心传媒 Insights 鈥 a financial wellness tool that serves up personalized, real-time financial information and advice 鈥 in myVoyage to give users a seamless experience to understand what鈥s happening with their finances and to drive more consistent engagement with the app.
Each login to myVoyage can drive a more engaged benefits experience and is intended to help employees meet their long-term retirement goals. By increasing usage and engagement, Voya is helping employees to more effectively manage their benefits and best optimize their selections to meet their financial needs. 鈥淲别鈥re focused on meeting people where they are, whether someone is just starting out in the workforce or if they鈥ve already built up their savings. Regardless of their situation, we want to provide solutions to help them optimize their next decision.鈥 said Kehoe. 鈥...at Voya we know that people who are digitally engaged can be more prepared for their long term retirement planning goals. So, working with 糖心传媒 to drive engagement was really important.鈥
When building experiences at Voya, we鈥檙e really looking for organizations who can work with us to innovate and drive the next best experience for customers. And, with 糖心传媒, we鈥檝e had great success.

According to Kehoe, 糖心传媒 Insights helps engage customers by moving them back to the myVoyage experience with notifications about timely financial information. 鈥淲ith insights,鈥 Kehoe says, 鈥渨e鈥re able to send out nudges on things like subscriptions or upcoming bills to bring the user back into the myVoyage experience. And that gives them the opportunity to do a quick check-in on both their retirement and overall financial wellness goals.鈥
Since its launch, Voya has seen some real-life results with myVoyage. Thirteen percent of employees that have used this experience have increased their retirement savings. On average, they saved $1,200 more for healthcare savings, and employers save $800 per employee when those employees optimize their benefits decisions.
Additionally, Voya is also leveraging 糖心传媒 Data Access for employees seeking more secure access to their Voya accounts and a reliable OAuth connection for those who want to aggregate their Voya accounts and share their financial data with other third parties. Leveraging 糖心传媒鈥s open finance Data Access API enables employees to connect and share financial data on their terms, without sharing their username and password.
