The financial company rolled out a program to let employers pay off student loans directly at regular intervals, like investing in health savings accounts or 401(k)s.

Fidelity’s entry, based on “broad interest from companies across the spectrum,” could be a turning point and mean more will need to offer the incentive to stay competitive. (BuzzFeed)
