By providing a non-proprietary 401(k) solution, you can immediately expand your product offering to your clients and prospects. By working with Voya as an additional retirement plan provider, you can benefit from the following:

Dedicated Support: Voya’s team of dedicated relationship managers bring a wealth of local banking expertise, including first-hand knowledge of the unique needs and opportunities that exist in the retirement industry. This dedicated support, coupled with Voya’s multicultural team, helps position you as a provider of choice for your multicultural clients.

A Comprehensive Product Continuum: Voya is one of the few providers with a scaled leadership presence across the entire DC spectrum with the ability to offer retirement plan solutions for any size or segment of the market on a bundled basis or in tandem with our national network of Third Party Administrators. Our experience in the banking industry has taught us that many of the 401(k) opportunities commercial lenders encounter are typically small market plans with plan assets between $3M - $5M and are generally unbundled with a local TPA. Leverage our established network of TPAs to complement your sales efforts.
