About Upromise

A college education is part of the American dream, but as tuition costs rise, families need to save more than ever before. At Upromise, we're helping to make college more affordable for America's families. This is a challenging and rewarding goal -the kind that makes you feel good about what you do; the kind that empowers you to make a difference.

When families enroll in Upromise, America's leading companies - including AOL, AT&T, Citigroup, GM and McDonald's - contribute a portion of the family's spending into the family's Upromise account. Families can save thousands for college - and more than 2.5 million families have already enrolled.

Founded by marketing services pioneer, Michael Bronner, and led by CEO George Bell, our management team is comprised of business leaders who follow a solid, fiscally responsible business strategy to ensure that we keep our commitments not only to our employees but also to the families who rely on us.

We are a team of 200+ people committed to reaching our company goals through innovation, testing, and learning. We invest and believe in our employees and look for the right mix of expertise, commitment and passion for the mission that defines our corporate culture. We provide a full range of benefits, including competitive salaries, paid time off, health, dental, disability, and life insurance, and the ability to contribute, via a payroll deduction, to both a 529 College Savings Plan and a 401k plan.

We have fun! We learn! And above all, we're proud to be helping families save for college!
