Anytime, Anywhere Access

In 2016, when Mutual of America embarked on its strategic plan to modernize its technology, no one could have anticipated COVID-19 and the resulting shift to a hybrid work environment. Yet, our new advanced administration and recordkeeping technology platform was built for this moment.

By providing anytime, anywhere access to next-generation plan administration tools and information, our shift to a cloud-based, digital-first platform will enable us to meet the needs of plan sponsors today—and as those needs evolve over time.

“To make sure we achieved this crucial purpose, we engaged with plan sponsors and participants to understand their needs and priorities. I’m happy to report that the new and enhanced solutions enabled by this technology transformation are ones that can help plan sponsors and participants improve retirement outcomes.”

The new administration and recordkeeping platform’s powerful suite of high-tech capabilities is enhanced by Mutual of America’s commitment to providing the highest level of service and support, delivered through our robust, centralized service model.
