One of the easiest ways to help prevent fraudulent retirement account activity is for plan participants to add a current, valid email address to their account. With an email address on record, BPAS will confirm by email any time activity occurs in their account. Would it surprise you to know that many people still haven’t updated their accounts to include their email address?
Why do we need participants’ email addresses?
Having a current, valid email address on record with BPAS has many benefits:
- Alerts for account login to new devices
- Notification of account activity
- Password resets
- Optional participation in our GoGreen option to receive electronic statements
Why are we asking for your help?
BPAS will never send participants an account link asking them to update personal information, including their email addresses. By having you email the request directly to plan participants we can avoid the possibility that they will think they’re receiving a phishing email or that we’re soliciting unnecessary information. Attached is a sample communication that you can email to plan participants. Although we’ve included a link to the login page, participants can go directly to our Participant login page at https://www.bpas.com/participants.
