A simpler, more efficient retirement program for community banks.
Running a successful community bank in today’s competitive and highly regulated landscape is becoming more difficult. Attracting, retaining, and rewarding talented employees is more important now than ever. A well designed retirement plan is a key benefit in doing that but just like banking, running a successful plan has become more challenging. Increasing fiduciary requirements are adding more administrative burdens and call for specialized knowledge that many community banks don’t have.
​
The Midwest Community Bankers Multiple Employer Plan (MCBk MEP) was created exclusively for community banks to help you create a simpler, more easily managed retirement program. It frees you and your staff to focus on banking, not your retirement plan.
