Standard Speeds Up Contribution Processing with EFT
June 23, 2003 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Plan sponsors can
now expedite the investment of retirement plan contributions
with an enhanced feature from Standard Insurance
Company.
Reported by Nevin E. Adams
Standard, a subsidiary of StanCorp Financial Group, Inc., has added an electronic funds transfer (EFT) feature to its Participant Data Management (PDM) Web-based tool for retirement plan sponsors. The feature will allow plan contribution transfers from retirement plan sponsors’ bank accounts to The Standard, and can also be used by plan sponsors to manage any forfeitures in their plans.
PDM allows plan sponsors to validate contribution data and transmit it directly to The Standard’s administration system, which the Portland, Oregon-based firm says will lead to:
- improved accuracy of participant information,
- elimination of census work at year end, and
- better control over data quality.
