Now more than ever, people and companies are turning towards savings to help them manage the impact of COVID-19. 

However, 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and 41% of Americans would have to sell a personal item or borrow money to cover an unexpected $400 expense. How do we help Americans save?

Join Commonwealth and MassChallenge FinTech for a lunch discussion focused on how leaders in financial services and fintech are thinking about these challenges and helping all Americans build savings.

Panelists:

Jack Barry, VP, Head of Strategy and Transformation, John Hancock Retirement Plan Services

Zhivago Velasco, VP, Head Of Strategic Product Innovation, MassMutual

Lindsay Lockhart, Co-Founder and Chief of Staff, Neocova

Moderated by Nick Maynard, SVP, Commonwealth
