Given our latest successes—including being featured in a prominent financial research institution’s case study, earning top accolades in The Fast Company Innovation by Design Award, making the Corporate Insight’s short-list alongside other top financial brands including Fideltiy, Empower, and Merrill, and more—we piqued the publishers’ interest.
