Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE: WFC) has announced that they have revamped the company’s online retirement website in order to help people plan for retirement and ensure that they will have enough income during their golden years.
The new website that the company has made available features new tools that allows individuals to choose which IRA option is best suited to their needs. There’s also a calculator to determine what the true cost of taking out cash from an old 401(k) account will be and the site is organized in such a way that users will be presented with the information most relevant to their age, whether they’re in their 20’s are or are nearing retirement.
John Papadopulos, president of Wells Fargo Retirement, commented in a press release that “Whether we like it or not, we all are in charge of our own retirement today and Wells Fargo would like to help people plan effectively.”
“Preparing for retirement can be an overwhelming concept for many, and it takes some personal initiative to get answers to various questions. We want to be part of the solution. One way we can do this is by delivering useful, updated information through wellsfargo.com,” said Papadopulos.
“Planning for retirement requires different strategies depending on your age and the stage of retirement planning you’ve already gone through,” said Kelley Doherty, senior vice president, Internet Services Group. “We’ve created a site that simplifies a sometimes complex topic and takes into account how effective retirement planning varies, depending on age. The enhanced retirement site is now organized so that users can easily zero in on the education, checklists and other information that’s most relevant to their stage in life.”
