Introducing Deel Retirement: A New Way to Offer Retirement Savings

Retirement is the second-most requested employee benefit in the US, behind only medical. Yet 70% of working Americans fear they're not saving enough for it.

Many are enrolled in a plan—they just can't see it. A login arrives for a portal they don't recognize, separate from their payslip and every other tool they use at work. They set their contribution and move on, hoping it went through.

Employers face the same disconnect from the other side. Contributions leave payroll manually each cycle. Someone exports a file, cross-references the figures, and fixes what doesn't match. The plan and payroll have never shared a record.

Most teams have built a process around this. That doesn't mean it works.

Today that changes. Deel Retirement is now available in the US. It’s a new way to manage your retirement benefits, with plans from Basic Capital and Human Interest embedded directly into the Deel platform. Instead of juggling portals, you manage enrollment, contributions, and reconciliation in the same place you already run payroll.

How Deel Retirement connects to payroll

The plan and payroll share the same record, so nothing moves between systems by hand. When an employee changes their contribution rate, payroll updates automatically. Finance sees every deduction in one ledger. HR stops chasing files and saves hours of admin overhead every month.

A fuller financial picture for your employees

Most retirement plans ask employees to care about something they can't easily see, in a system they don't regularly visit, managed separately from their employee record.

When retirement is built into Deel, your employee opens the same app they already use, sees their 401(k), chooses their contributions, sees the employer match, and follows how the plan performs, right next to their payslips and their benefits. They can see what they have, use it without raising a ticket, and trust that it's accurate.

It doesn't stop at enrollment. When they want to increase their contributions or check how their fund is performing, it's all in the same place. That matters because people don't think about retirement in isolation. They think about it alongside what they earn, what they spend, and what they're building toward.

Employees with access to a retirement plan are 15 times more likely to save for retirement, and putting that plan where they already engage with their pay removes the friction that stops them from starting.
