‘The Model Plan’ for educators
Suncoast Credit Union, the largest credit union in Florida, is the newest provider to join The Model Plan, established by Florida public education groups working together as the nonprofit Independent Benefits Council (IBC), according to a news release.
“For nearly two decades, the IBC has selected a set of preferred products within 403(b) plans so Florida’s school employees can save more money for retirement,” Bob Cerra, executive director of the Independent Benefits Council, said in the release.
Suncoast joins Equitable, PlanMember Services, and Security Benefit as The Model Plan providers helping public school employees across Florida invest in annuities, mutual funds, or a combination of both, through multi-product accounts that combine these registered products. These investment products and the companies that provide them under The Model Plan are continually monitored to maintain the high standards and values established by the IBC.
