The benefits of retirement loan protection
Preserve participants’ retirement savings progress
Participants who take out loans often do so as a last resort, and they’re required to pay off their balance completely after a job loss, job change, or disability, stalling their retirement savings progress.
Improve employees’ financial wellness
Retirement loan protection is a measurable financial wellness tool that protects participants’ financial security by preventing loan defaults. By offering employees assurance that they are less likely to default on a retirement plan loan, plan sponsors can reduce employees’ financial stress.
Provide means for participants to continue making payments after job changes
Custodia Financial’s retirement loan protection not only covers unexpected job loss; it also allows participants to continue making loan repayments after they voluntarily change jobs.
