Overview
MSA provides financial wellness benefits to employers, offering employees access to unbiased money coaching and digital tools. Members receive one-on-one coaching from salaried, certified financial experts who do not sell financial products, with support ranging from debt management to retirement planning, delivered through a B2B membership often included in a benefits package (sometimes with an initial free period). The platform also includes an online portal with tools like the MSA Wallet, credit tracking, webinars, and educational content. MSA differentiates itself by offering independent financial coaching alongside digital resources and by partnering with large employers, including many Fortune 500 companies, to deliver benefits at scale. Its goal is to reduce financial stress, improve financial literacy and outcomes, and support employer productivity and workforce well-being by providing accessible professional financial guidance.
