Great-West Life Health Insurance News

Great-West Life Assurance announced on October 3, 2018, that Indigo would be the first national employer to man its provider’s student debt savings program. This would be the first of its kind in Canada.

Brad Fedorchuk, the Senior Vice-President, Group Customer Experience and Marketing for Great-West Life pointed out that the average post-secondary student amasses up to $27,000 in student debt when they leave school and typically takes up to 10 years to pay it off. However, with the program, Indigo will make a matching contribution to the employees’ retirement savings account with Indigo’s group retirement and savings plan when an employee makes a payment on their Canada or provincial government student loan.
