Selecting and monitoring a retirement plan provider is an important task. The right 401(k) provider won’t only reduce administrative headaches– they’ll also boost employee morale and improve retention.
At Hills Bank, we offer all-inclusive, bundled retirement plan services designed around the plan sponsor and participants’ needs. We approach each plan and its participants with the responsiveness of a community bank while offering the latest technology and plan-design services. For example, plan sponsors and participants have the ability to monitor and manage their accounts via our interactive, web-based service at any time.
Our bundled services include trusteeship, investment management, recordkeeping, and plan asset custody.
Local professionals and service – no outsourcing
At Hills Bank, we provide all aspects of our employer-sponsored retirement plan services right here in the Corridor.
It’s a one-stop shop with one point of contact. We serve as:

| Investment Manager: | Our experts select and monitor investment options, report performance, and conduct on-site or online employee meetings |
| Recordkeeper: | We maintain participant records, prepare forms and IRS documents, process benefit payments and other participant-initiated requests, provide reporting to the plan’s sponsor, and provide daily valuation of plan assets |
Both employers and their employees have the ability to speak to their local Hills Bank employee benefit professional in person, through video conferencing, or over the phone to get assured answers to their questions in a timely manner.
