Northern Trust Launches Passport for Benefit Payment Participants
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In its continuing commitment to give institutional clients access to information when they need it, where they need it, Northern Trust announced today the launch of participant access to retirement benefit payment detail via its multi-faceted web portal, Passport®.
Available to institutional clients in the United States, the enhancement allows retirement and pension plan participants to access their program information in real time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Online access through Northern Trust Passport will supplement mailings, call centers and other means of distributing statements and other information.
