Access opens the door to every employer and employee

The SECURE Act, which became effective on January 1, 2021, allows unrelated employers to offer retirement benefits to their employees through newly created arrangements called Pooled Employer Plans (PEPs). Access Retirement Solutions (Access) saw a unique opportunity to improve upon the PEP model and developed a proprietary retirement plan solution with a sole focus on delivering affordable, best-in-class retirement plan solutions to employers and empowering employees to achieve financial security.
