Securian Financial's Online Enrollment Process for Workplace Retirement Plans Earns Top Ranking in DALBAR Study

ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Securian Financial earned the No. 1 ranking in a market research firm’s review of online enrollment processes for workplace retirement plans.

In-person enrollment meetings—especially in the current public health environment—are fading to memory, and effective digital enrollment processes are more important than ever. To identify the top performers among retirement plan providers, DALBAR, a leading financial services market researcher, studied and ranked 27 distinct online enrollment processes.

DALBAR reviewed nine aspects of each provider’s enrollment process and awarded points for necessary capabilities, as well as features that add value or enhance an employee’s enrollment experience.

Ranking it first among all studied, DALBAR described Securian Financial’s online enrollment process as having “highly effective tactics for driving enrollees to a sufficient [retirement savings] rate.” Additionally, DALBAR gave Securian Financial’s enrollment website landing page a perfect “initial impression” score.
