Societe Generale worked to automate the consolidation of information on pension funds, social security retirement savings and other types of savings vehicles, so that individuals could more easily understand potential benefits and formulate a realistic retirement plan. This process is extremely complicated and Societe Generale is one of the first banks to tackle this complex landscape.
One of Societe Generale's goals for the app is to alleviate the overwhelming stress and anxiety that haunt their clients when it comes to retirement. The app succeeds as both a financial solution and a means of providing clients with peace of mind or financial wellness.
