September 6, 2007 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - BenefitStreet Inc. has announced that Reliance Trust Company has been added as a custodian to the recently introduced BenefitStreet ETF 401(k) solution.

According to the announcement, Reliance will provide ETF custodian services to complement BenefitStreet’s 401(k) administration structure. The firm will also offer other services, including directed trustee services, ACH pull services, and certified statements to advisers and plan sponsors.
