Analysis of Existing Supplemental Benefit Plans

Keeping the key drivers of your bank rewarded and motivated takes forward thinking – strategic forward thinking.

How does your benefit plan stack up?

On Plans --

When it comes to evaluating your current supplemental benefit plans, here are four typical areas of concern prevalent with banks/bankers:

  • Do you currently have the most appropriate plans in place to motivate and reward your top executives and directors?


  • How well is your plan document written? Are there ambiguities, omissions or non-compliant terminology?


  • Are you protected in the event of death, disability or change of control?


  • What are your payouts based on – fixed amounts or a final percentage of pay? It can make a major difference.

  • What is the credit worthiness of your BOLI insurance carriers?


  • Are you getting accurate and timely reporting?


  • Is your vendor the same firm that conducts reviews?
