BNY запустила программу помощи сотрудникам в покупке первой квартиры

BNY offers dedicated benefit to support employee homeowners BNY supports current and future employee homeowners with a homeowner programme benefit. In April, the global financial services platforms firm launched a homeowner benefit for its around 19,000 US-based employees, aimed at helping them navigate the homeownership journey and address affordability challenges. Through the programme, eligible staff with qualifying compensation of $100,000 (£74,271) or less annually may qualify for $6,500 (£4,827) in deposit assistance toward the purchase of their first home. This is directly funded by BNY. They can also access on-demand digital learning modules and live seminars covering budgeting, credit readiness, mortgage options, closing costs, assistance programmes and long-term homeownership planning. Employees can additionally access programme information through a dedicated, centralised homeowner resource hub, explains Pascale Thomas, head of global benefits and wellbeing at BNY. “Live seminars explaining closing costs and mortgage structures, and long-term planning tools are available to employees regardless of where they are in the homeownership journey, from early-stage research through to home purchase preparation,” she says. “Access to mortgage origination services and special mortgage-related benefits are provided through Bank of America. BNY is making a direct investment in employees through this programme.” All US employees, whether eligible for the programme or not, can access financial education resources and live financial wellbeing seminars. The benefit was designed to address one of the biggest barriers to homeownership. It is part of BNY’s broader commitment to financial wellbeing and helping its employees achieve greater financial security across different life stages. The programme was created to help employees navigate the homebuying process with greater clarity and confidence by providing trusted education, planning resources and meaningful financial assistance, says Thomas. “Homeownership remains one of the most important ways individuals and families build long-term wealth and financial security, yet affordability continues to be a challenge for many aspiring homeowners. The goal is to help employees participate in the housing market and take an important step toward financial wellness,” adds Thomas.
