Benefits Passport 

>> A glimpse into the future:
Imagine a day in the not-too-distant future when a financial planner visits a client's employer-provided, personalized web site (called a BenefitsPassportSM) which has all of the client's investment, insurance, banking, credit card and employee benefits information on it. Together, the client and the financial planner are able to check all "Financial Vital Signs", and discuss a personalized financial strategy. 

The client, who also uses the BenefitsPassportSM to enroll and look up employee benefit information, is able to conveniently purchase customized financial products (as well as consumer items) to complete their Financial Plan. All of the information on the BenefitsPassportSM site is updated in real-time, and is portable, irrespective of any specific employer. Imagine that such a BenefitsPassportSM Network increasingly becomes a major gateway through which many Americans access their financial information. Few employers would consider installing an employee benefits program that was not part of a BenefitsPassportSM Network. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>> We believe this vision will become reality in the near future, and that professional, independent Benefit Advisors have a uniquely vital role to play. Such a BenefitsPassportSM Network must be credible, secure, and designed to work in the best interests of the clients. It is vital that this Network be supported by independent, credentialed Advisors who have their client's best interests in mind, rather than being managed by Vendors who are motivated solely by the sale of their own products and services. 

UBA is uniquely positioned to create and safeguard that network. UBA's nationwide network of independent, professional advisors are committed to serving their clients needs and helping them navigate the New Financial Services World. UBA members believe in a collaborative approach to solving Employer and Employee needs, and are committed to working closely with The Society of Financial Service Professionals, and other professional organizations.
