Envestnet head of strategic development Dani Fava said: “It is no secret that the US has a savings problem, as a recent Bankrate survey found that fewer than four in 10 Americans had enough savings to cover the cost for even a four-figure car repair bill.

Last month, Envestnet acquired financial planning technology solutions from Apprise Labs to bolster client portal experience.
