EvoShare and BPAS Launch Breakthrough IRA Savings Solution

BERKELEY, Calif. (PRWEB) October 22, 2020

EvoShare is partnering with BPAS, a national provider of retirement plans, benefit plans, fund administration, and collective investment trusts, to launch IRARewards, a breakthrough solution for retirement saving. IRARewards pairs a traditional or Roth BPAS Individual Retirement Account (IRA) with the EvoShare cash-back solution. It's a first of its kind IRA funded with cash-back earned by shopping at thousands of participating merchants across the nation.

EvoShare's proprietary system turns a percentage of every dollar spent at more than 12,000 local and online stores, restaurants, and other merchants into IRA contributions. EvoShare provides employees with a "set it and forget it" experience where they can spend as usual at participating businesses and receive up to 20% cash back toward retirement. It's a new, easy, automated way to save for retirement.

"When research showed that 27% of Americans have less than $25,000 saved for retirement, we knew we had to do more," said Barry Kublin, BPAS CEO. "IRARewards answers the call. It's a safe, easy way to get employees saving for retirement without hitting their already over-stretched paychecks or budget. We're pleased to be able to help so many Americans achieve retirement readiness in such a simple way."

"For too long, employees have only relied on their paycheck to save for the future. Now, they can use both their earnings and their daily spending to grow their nest egg," said Eugeny Prudchyenko, CEO of EvoShare. "With BPAS, we're able to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience for retirement savers and the retirement industry. Together, we can help millions of American workers achieve their retirement goals."

IRARewards participants enjoy a single sign-on that lets them manage their EvoShare and BPAS accounts, including their IRA, 401(k), health savings account, and VEBA HRA. The IRA experts at BPAS take care of the account opening, servicing, questions, funding, and investing.

Participants simply download the Evoshare app and/or securely link their existing credit or debit card(s) to EvoShare. There is no need for a separate credit card account to get IRARewards. The cash-back earned with IRARewards is in addition to any other credit card incentives; it doesn't replace them. Participants simply shop and dine as usual at participating merchants. Cash-back earnings are automatically deposited into their BPAS IRA each month.

"It's truly free money invested into an IRA," added Brian Douglas, VP, BPAS IRA Services. "It's like participating merchants are giving people money-off for shopping with them. But, the money they save goes into an IRA. It's a brilliant way to turn everyday spending into generous cash-back rewards and painlessly boost retirement savings. I really think IRARewards is going to be a game changer in the retirement industry."
