VANCOUVER, British Columbia –
Mogo Inc. (NASDAQ:MOGO) (TSX:MOGO) (“Mogo” or the “Company”), a digital payments and financial technology company, announced today a new pilot with Sun Life to bring Mogo’s saving and investing app, Moka, to more than 20,000 Sun Life Group Retirement Services members. The app automatically rounds up daily purchases and invests the spare change in personalized, diversified portfolios of low-cost Exchange-Traded Funds. By using the Moka app, Sun Life members will be able to easily grow their savings each month. Members can help further grow their savings with roundup multipliers, recurring deposits and exclusive cashback offers from popular brands partnered with Moka.
“We are thrilled to work with Sun Life, Canada’s largest workplace savings plan provider. They are bringing innovative solutions to members to support their financial health and security,” said Phil Barrar, Chief Innovation Officer of Mogo. “For many Canadians the COVID-19 crisis has placed a heightened focus on having a financial safety net. Our saving and investing app is a highly effective tool for helping to build a financial cushion.”
Mogo’s saving and investing app, Moka, lets members easily start saving in minutes, with no minimum required. As the first round-up-and-save app available in Canada, the app has been downloaded over 1 million times and has earned 10,000 5-star reviews to date. The app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Beginning this month, Sun Life will promote the saving and investing app to a pilot group of select plan sponsors. The app aligns with Sun Life’s purpose of helping its clients achieve lifetime financial security and live healthier lives.
