Retirement Plan Solution for Small Businesses
Transamerica Retirement Plan Exchange
The Retirement Plan Exchange (the Exchange), powered by Transamerica, allows small businesses to provide a retirement plan to employees without having to take on all the administrative and fiduciary responsibilities that come with it. The Exchange can help reduce the administrative burden, transfer certain risks, and potentially reduce costs. With the Exchange, a team of professionals works together on your behalf so you can focus on running your business – not your retirement plan. When you offer a plan through the Exchange, you become a participating employer. Participating employers in the Exchange do not have to share a common association or industry.
