Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group Announces New Direct-to-Consumer Healthcare Benefits Offerings


Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group logo

Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group, a leading provider of financial planning and investment products and solutions, announces that it now offers individual health savings accounts (HSAs). Sentinel’s Health + Wealth model, which is designed to create an engaged and better-prepared workforce, allows partners and individuals to rethink their overall benefits spend and value.

“We partner with our clients to create an environment that encourages retirement readiness, promotes healthy choices, and empowers participants to take control of their financial well-being,” said Scott Riordan, vice president of health and welfare services at Sentinel. “Our Health + Wealth experts help simplify the benefits process for plan sponsors, and our financial planners put it all into perspective for participants.”

Sentinel Benefits’ HSA tools are powered by WEX, a leading financial technology service provider. Since 2008, Sentinel has offered HSAs to employers, and new research shows that its HSA participants (across both accounts tied to an employer and those opened by an individual) have invested 30 percent of their HSA contributions as of July 31, 2019. This is higher than the industry data that states that, at the end of 2018, only 18 percent of HSA contributions across all accountholders were invested.

Historically, healthcare (meaning insurance, benefits and reimbursement accounts) and wealth (meaning retirement plans, investment vehicles, among others) have been siloed into separate buckets. However, Sentinel is successfully breaking down those siloes by designing and administering both health and wealth plans.

To help raise greater awareness of the value of heath savings accounts, Sentinel will take part in National HSA Awareness Day, a day designed to help Americans understand the many ways that HSAs can be used to save money using pre-tax dollars to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses. Jean Chatzky, founder and CEO of HerMoney, renowned financial expert, and best-selling author will serve as a 2019 educational ambassador for HSA Day. Along with WEX’s Health division and other partners, Chatzky is sharing the benefits and value of owning and using an HSA via social media using #LoveMyHSA.

Innovecture, LLC is proud to announce its membership with the Financial Data Exchange, LLC (FDX)


innovecture ceo

Shreyas Kamat, CEO of Innovecture

Innovecture aims to contribute its leading industry research to FDX and support their mission to create a common standard for the entire financial industry.

The decision to join FDX is led by Innovecture’s current involvement in creating and deploying standards-based core banking API’s for its customers. This involvement is driven by the company’s top architects and engineers who are researching multiple global standards and are creating a comprehensive API catalogue for which they are filling the current gaps within the existing data models, API specifications, and security models. Innovecture aims to contribute its leading industry research and thought leadership to FDX and support their mission to create a common standard for the entire financial industry.

In this digital economy it is the consumer who will benefit if all financial institutions could exchange data in a faster, cheaper, and more secure method. For example, current pain points and fears for consumers include;

1. having to log into multiple financial systems,

2. long customer service phone calls and waits,

3. money transfer delays that can last multiple working business days (especially overseas); and,

4. fear of falling victim to cyber-attacks.

These implications and worries will drastically improve, perhaps disappear completely, if the industry could successfully implement a global standard which is what Innovecture is here to help with.

Regarding the FDX API, Shreyas Kamat, CEO of Innovecture, stated, “We envision of helping our clients improve customer satisfaction and reduce total cost of ownership by building all of their digital banking applications portfolio such as internet banking, customer servicing, payments, marketing, and case management.”

“We believe in listening to all industry voices to build a standard that gives consumers and businesses the easiest, most secure access to their financial data,” said Don Cardinal, Managing Director of FDX. “We welcome Innovecture to FDX and look forward to their participation in the development and further evangelization of the FDX API standard.”

To establish and maintain a consumer-based, forward-thinking digital environment, Innovecture employees abide by four strategic core values areas as shown below.

INNOVECTURE CORE VALUES

Competency – “Be the Best at what you do.”

Commitment – “Commit 100% to your customer.”

Communication – “Be concise and transparent.”

Innovation – “Be innovative in everything you do.”

In conclusion, the overall goal of the partnership between Innovecture and FDX is clear – impactful global standardization. Consumers using the industry’s digital banking applications will get a jump start in their digital transformation journey by leveraging a standard, core banking API catalogue. This leap will also provide end consumers with a comprehensive and standardized data model in conjunction with API specification. “This will help customers reduce their time and costs,” continued Kamat, “to market and improve the interoperability with their own consumers and partners.”

Top Insurance Experts Present A New Guide On Comparing Car Insurance Quotes Online


News Image

“With some driving habit changes and comparison shopping, you can reduce the overall costs for auto insurance. Visit our website for more car insurance info,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has published a new guide to comparing online car insurance quotes.

For more info and free quotes, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/learn-how-to-get-and-compare-car-insurance-quotes/

Car insurance rates are calculated based on the risk of insuring a person. They directly influence the premiums and overall insurance costs. In order to have an idea of how much they are expected to pay, clients should get free quotes from http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/ and compare prices!

There are several rules to follow when comparing quotes:


  • Understand the main factors that influence premiums. There are many factors taken into consideration when determining insurance costs. The most influential factors are: car’s make and model, driving history, demographic factors, recent claims and traffic violations and coverage options. Each factor must be properly analyzed.
  • After understanding his own risk profile, a client should get car insurance quotes. Make a list with top reputable companies and get quotes for each one of them. Additionally, use brokerage websites to get multiple quotes at once. There will be many smaller, more local companies included in those quotes obtained from brokerage websites.
  • Brokerage websites allow for faster price comparison. Furthermore, all results are obtained using the same data and for the same product. This gives no room for errors. Clients who use brokerage websites can quickly sort offers by prices. But do not be guided only by price. Check what other benefits and bonuses can be obtained by applying to each offer.
  • There are several ways to improve rates. Making several changes will help drivers get better rates. Driving less than the average driver, graduating defensive driving courses or installing safety gear will greatly improve the rates.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.
