BrightPlan Announces Strategic Partnership with USI

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.
