Defined Contribution Plan (401K)

Employee 401k Program

A competitive 401k retirement savings plan is a key employee benefit. CCBA leverages the size and purchasing power of its Members to offer an innovative, cost-effective and flexible 401K program for its Membership.

In 401k Plan pricing, size is power; and this Plan is massive.  Today, over half of our Members participate in this program, with assets exceeding $1 billion and growing. The Plan includes a diverse portfolio of funds for your employees, with additional target date funds included.

The program is particularly attractive given our ability to customize based on the unique needs and objectives of each participating employer. Program structures can be tailored to allow for custom vesting periods, eligibility, and matching employee and employer contributions.
