"We're proud of our people-centered approach to the work we do and our commitment to providing everyone the tools to lead financially healthy lives," said Kristen Holt, president and CEO, GreenPath Financial Wellness. "Within our Your Money Guide pilot, participants reported positive levels of confidence about being able to reach their financial goals. We encourage all financial organizations to review our findings and consider this service for their customers."
The Your Money Guide program was piloted in two phases through May 2021. Pilot participants were individuals who were not in a crisis, had a stable income, a desire to build financial resiliency, less than $5,000 in unsecured debt, and were seeking an accountability partner. The program connected participants with empathy-trained, certified financial coaches who helped guide them on attaining and sustaining financial resiliency. GreenPath coaches are certified by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) and receive ongoing support from an in-house empathy coach.
Participant interviews offer rich details about the program's success in reaching and retaining clients. Key outcomes were a direct result of GreenPath's empathy-focused coaching services, human-centered communications, and innovative program recruitment.
Unlike other financial coaching programs, Your Money Guide combines convenient online learning with personalized coaching via email, telephone, and online chat, helping propel people toward a financially healthy lifestyle. The program was developed to be a resource for GreenPath's partner organizations, credit unions, and nonprofits. "This program supports GreenPath's overall mission of empowering financial health and wellness, and we're excited to launch Your Money Guide at scale to expand our ability to serve more people," said Holt. "Coaching creates excellent outcomes for anyone who desires to strengthen their financial resiliency."
The Your Money Guide Financial Coaching pilot was made possible through a grant from JP Morgan Chase. GreenPath used innovative outreach and recruitment campaigns to secure pilot-program participants, leveraging the networks of three valuable partners: ArtBuilt, Self-Help Credit Union, and United Way of Greater Mercer County, New Jersey.
