iJoin and Finicity
Finicity Account Aggregation is a service within the iJoin ACT experience that allows an enrolled participant to link to their outside accounts assets. These accounts will then be included in the Projected Retirement Income calculation in iJoin.
Linked account assets are updated nightly within iJoin to keep the participant’s "Projected Retirement Income" calculations up to date.
**iJoin pulls account information directly from Finicity. iJoin does not store login credentials for outside accounts.**
