Benny 2.0 automatically manages your Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) to make you more money without disrupting your take-home pay.
Understanding Your ESPP
Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPPs) offer a fantastic opportunity for employees at public companies to participate in their company’s success and earn more from the built in discount. However, the common hurdle often involves the direct impact on your take-home pay when you choose to participate through payroll deductions. But what if there was a way to maximize your participation in ESPPs without tightening your monthly budget? Enter Benny, your ultimate hack for smarter ESPP funding.
The Traditional Path: Straight from Your Paycheck
Traditionally, funding an ESPP involves allocating a portion of your paycheck directly into the plan. This method is straightforward but comes with the obvious downside of reducing your available cash for monthly expenses and savings. For many, especially those dealing with student loans or aiming to enhance their financial flexibility, this isn’t the ideal solution.
The Benny Hack: Use OPM (Other People’s Money)
Benny introduces an opportunity to hack your ESPP and max it out with a unique approach—using a line of credit to fund your ESPP contributions. This method allows you to participate fully in your company’s ESPP without the financial pinch on your paycheck. Here’s how it works:
- Take 15 Minutes & Chat with a Benny ESPP Expert: They will make a plan specifically tailored to your ESPP and guide you through funding.
- Maximize Your ESPP Contribution: Use the line of credit to contribute the maximum allowable amount to your ESPP.
- Repay with ESPP Gains: When your ESPP shares are purchased, you can sell them (if you choose) to pay off your line of credit (only sacrificing a fraction of your gains) and pocket the remaining profit.

What is an ESPP?
An Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) allows employees to buy company stock at a discounted price, usually through payroll deductions. This means you set a % or $ amount and each and every paycheck, a portion of your paycheck is set aside to purchase company stock at certain increments (most often 6 months but each company can do theirs differently).
