The Colorado SecureSavings Program has announced updates to its saver and employer portals, introducing multilingual functionality and enhanced mobile access. These changes are intended to make retirement savings more accessible for workers across the state.
Vestwell, which administers the program, has added support for 18 languages including Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, French, Polish, Cantonese, Arabic, Yiddish, Bengali, Haitian Creole, Urdu, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Farsi, and Armenian.
“Our goal with Colorado SecureSavings is to make saving for retirement simple, accessible, and inclusive,” said Colorado State Treasurer Dave Young. “These new tools help break down language barriers and offer the flexibility Colorado workers need to take control of their financial futures.”
Since its launch in 2023, the program has enrolled over 17,000 employers and nearly 90,000 savers who have accumulated more than $158 million in retirement assets. The recent mobile enhancements are expected to further increase participation.
“We’re proud to make the Colorado SecureSavings Program even easier to use by meeting savers where they are,” said Colorado SecureSavings Program Executive Director Hunter Railey. “Every worker in Colorado deserves the opportunity to build a secure financial future, and these new tools ensure no one is left behind.”
Participants can select their preferred language within account settings or via a language icon in the portal footer. Once selected, both the portal interface and key documents will appear in that language during future logins. Users can change their language preference at any time.
Vestwell’s mobile app provides users with on-demand access to their retirement savings accounts and additional management tools.
“Vestwell designed this initiative to help our partners close the savings gap. By bringing multilingual access and a mobile-first experience to the Colorado SecureSavings program, we’re breaking down barriers and delivering tools that meet the needs of today’s modern workforce, in the languages Coloradans know best,” said Aaron Schumm, Founder and CEO of Vestwell.
The program targets an estimated 1.4 million workers in Colorado who do not have access to employer-sponsored retirement plans. Under state law, businesses operating for two or more years with five or more employees must offer a retirement plan—either through Colorado SecureSavings or another private option. The Department will soon contact eligible businesses about enrolling or certifying an exemption before year-end.
