Offering retirement plans for banks and their customers...

Pentegra offers a wide variety of retirement programs for community banks including 401(k) plans, ESOPs, KSOPs, defined benefit plans, profit sharing plans, and a full-service private label 401(k) program banks can offer their commercial customers.

Pentegra's full service approach to retirement plan management includes custom plan design, administration and recordkeeping, investment management, plan consulting, legal support, plan compliance, a primary fiduciary role and participant education and communications, and the added advantage of 65+ years of community bank retirement plan "best practices."

As a bank retirement specialist, Pentegra is focused on delivering retirement products that fit your needs.  Pentegra also offers the opportunity to add employer stock and/or bank certificates of deposit as retirement plan investment options.  Whatever your bank's objectives, whether it is enabling participants to purchase stock through a 401(k) plan, making matching contributions in the form of company stock, or establishing an ESOP, Pentegra has the expertise to help you design a retirement program that accomplishes these goals, including controlling the number of shareholders.  What's more, employer stock is administered in a daily valuation trading environment—whether it is traded on a major exchange or thinly traded.

In addition, through its Private Label 401(k) program, Pentegra partners with select financial institutions to offer a full-service, fully branded 401(k) program for commercial customers. Pentegra's Private Label retirement product delivers an optimal combination of quality and value by providing a broad array of flexible services, the ability to support a wide range of plan types, a comprehensive investment platform, and complete control over branding and distribution—with the added benefit of fee income from non-traditional revenue sources.
