ESOPConnection™ provides you online reporting for these services, so that you can review and approve the processing and payment with a click of your mouse!

ESOPConnection™ is a cost-effective and customizable communications tool for your ESOP that can be used for new employee orientation, periodic updates and on-going communications and education. ESOPConnection™ provides definitions and answers to frequently asked questions about ESOPs in general, as well as the specific provisions of your Plan.
