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.
