Retirement Plan Services

403(b) Plans

Designed for employees of nonprofit and educational organizations, traditional, tax-deferred 403(b) contributions are made before income taxes are applied, and earnings and contributions are not taxable until they are withdrawn. Roth 403(b) contributions are made with after-tax dollars, but withdrawals, including earnings, are tax-free if certain conditions are met.

  • Participant deferral of current income taxes or pre-payment of income taxes for Roth option
  • Automatic Contribution Arrangement feature available
  • Contributions can only be invested in mutual funds or annuities
