Vestwell targets savings gap in delivery services

June 24, 2025

Vestwell has launched a new retirement savings solution tailored for participants in Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner (DSP) programme, aiming to expand access to financial security for delivery associates across the US.

This move addresses a long-standing gap in retirement plan availability for workers in the delivery sector, a space often underserved due to cost, complexity, and logistical barriers.

The DSP workforce forms the final link in Amazon’s fulfilment chain, ensuring packages reach customers efficiently across the country. Despite playing such a pivotal role in everyday commerce, many of these workers have historically lacked access to employer-sponsored retirement plans. Vestwell’s new offering aims to change that by making retirement savings accessible and practical for DSP businesses and their employees.

Vestwell founder and CEO Aaron Schumm said, “Our goal is to make workplace savings easier and more inclusive for every type of business – whether you’re at a desk, on the move, or delivering across town.

“Every worker deserves a financial safety net. This solution is about helping the people who power our everyday lives access retirement plans built for their reality – mobile, multilingual, and easy to use. It’s savings that meet them where they are – just like they do for their customers.”

Through a new Pooled Employer Plan (PEP), DSP owners now have the ability to offer a streamlined 401(k) option that comes with fewer administrative burdens and reduced costs.

Vestwell’s PEP has been engineered for simplicity, helping business owners take advantage of tax incentives while managing plans efficiently. At the same time, delivery associates gain a meaningful opportunity to save for the future—something that has been difficult to achieve in the gig-driven delivery sector.

The company’s infrastructure is built to support wide-scale retirement savings adoption, especially among non-traditional workforces. With user-friendly mobile access and multilingual features, Vestwell’s platform allows workers to engage with their savings whenever it suits them, whether between deliveries or during personal time.
