Results continue to outperform previous reporting, highlighting the power behind well-designed, easily understood reports that are supported with thorough and timely processing.

The back-end, fully managed by Synapses, offers 401(k) providers with:

• A confirmation letter that includes an image of the response card
• A transaction file of 401(k) savings rate change requests
