Head of Marketing

About Silvur

Our mission: to support the 99% of members who retire.

Silvur is modernizing what retirement decision-making in America looks like. We partner with financial institutions to deliver world-class tools and educational resources to their account holders—including personalized content, calculators, and connections to healthcare and financial services—to support the critical decisions their members make in their 50s, 60s, and through retirement.

Our white-labeled online platform is available to millions of credit union members and has been named to the Forbes Fintech 50 Most Innovative Companies. We’ve been featured in The New York Times, Fortune, CNBC, and Yahoo! Finance, and are backed by leading VCs like Anthemis and strategic investors including Curql, Reseda Group/MSUFCU, Service Ventures and WSECU.

We believe health and wealth are inseparable in retirement—and we’re reimagining how credit union members are educated and supported during their Medicare journey. The introduction of our full-service, tech enabled insurance agency, Silvur Insurance, in 2024 allows us to extend our services to provide members with much-needed one-on-one guidance led by licensed insurance agents.
