Plan sponsors face increasing economic and fiduciary challenges. To help you, AICCU provides a Multiple Employer Plan (MEP), a retirement plan program that allows you to offer a competitive retirement plan that benefits you and your employees. The AICCU MEP centralizes administrative and fiduciary support for plan sponsors.

For your employees, the AICCU MEP offers strong participant support to help promote financial literacy and responsible savings strategies among your employees.

AICCU is partnering with TIAA, Pentegra and SageView Advisory Group, and HUB who are highly regarded and experienced providers, in making the AICCU MEP available to its member institutions.
