Great-West Financial has launched a comprehensive mobile app that allows their participants to access their retirement account information on the go. The app is available to 401(k), 401(a), 403(b) and 457 plan participants who use the www.gwrs.com website to access their retirement account. There is no download necessary to access the app; it launches automatically when the user visits the website.
The mobile app gives users the ability to access key information from their retirement plan accounts, including:
• Viewing an estimated monthly retirement income amount
• Checking account balance and transaction history
• Accessing paycheck contribution amount and investment allocations
• Monitoring rate of return
• Choosing paperless document delivery and viewing online statements
• Accessing the full website on a mobile device with one tap from any page of the mobile web app
"The simplicity of this web app stands out," said Ron Warden, financial advisor at D.L. Davis & Company, Inc. and advisor for Novant Health. "It will help bring heightened awareness to plan participants and easy access to important balance, return and contribution information."
With retirement account information available so quickly and efficiently, it will cause participants to be more mindful and encourages active engagement with retirement planning.
