Credit-building: the retention lever missing from your benefits stack.

Credit-building is the financial wellness lever your workforce can actually use, regardless of income or credit history.

The Challenge

Health, retirement, and PTO are expected. They're no longer enough.

In 2025, nearly a quarter of employees left or seriously considered leaving a job because their benefits package fell short. Standard benefits packages have become table stakes, and the gap between what employers offer and what employees actually need is widening.

The Solution

Embed credit building. Add a benefit that measurably improves employees' financial lives.

Kikoff plugs into your benefits stack in weeks — credit building, credit monitoring, and rent + bill reporting, white-labeled under your offering.

Business value

Three returns in one investment.

Retention

A retention lever that works for everyone

Kikoff's credit-building platform meets workers where they are, including hourly, gig, and frontline segments most financial wellness benefits don't reach.

Measurable Outcomes

A number HR can report, an outcome employees can feel

Most financial wellness programs deliver content. Kikoff delivers credit growth, averaging +86 pts in year one for users who start under 600 and pay on time.*

Competitive Advantage

A benefits gap your competitors haven't filled yet

Credit building as an employer benefit is still early-market. In workforce segments where compensation packages look similar on paper, it's a genuine differentiator for talent acquisition.
