Welcome to the Safe-Harbor-IRA®
Safe-Harbor-IRA® is an automatic rollover IRA program developed by Centier Bank exclusively for missing or non-responsive terminated plan participants. Your former employer has made Centier the trustee of your automatic rollover, meaning your plan balance is now in a Safe-Harbor-IRA®.
