PLAN PARTICIPANTS

Retirement plan loans give many employees the confidence to keep contributing to the plan, knowing they can access their account in an emergency. Retirement loan eraser gives them peace of mind when they do borrow, knowing their retirement is not at risk.

Plan sponsors can add Retirement loan eraser by simply updating their loan policy and making loan information available to Custodia. Custodia works alongside the plan and its administrator to put coverage in place, communicates with employees and assumes responsibility for loan payments when employees are unable to.

Who Benefits?

Plan sponsors can automatically cover all their employee loans, as they do with automatic enrollment, to ensure more savings remain in the plan, or make loan insurance available on an opt out basis – leaving the decision up to the employees that borrow.
