SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BrightPlan, a leader in Total Financial Wellness, today announced a strategic partnership with USI Insurance Services, one of the largest insurance brokerage and consulting firms in the world, that will bring financial well-being benefits to more employees across the country. This includes financial planning and investing tools, advice from experienced financial advisors and a plethora of educational resources.

"We are eager to help USI meet those needs. With access to USI's large network, this partnership marks significant progress in making financial success attainable for everyone."
