The collaboration will leverage complementary strengths to help the retirement industry address complex technology and infrastructure challenges

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As wage earners change jobs throughout their careers, many face difficulty when attempting to transfer their 401(k) or defined contribution accounts. To help address this structural challenge and improve retirement savings portability across the industry, Deloitte and Retirement Clearinghouse (RCH) have formed a strategic relationship with the goal of keeping these savings invested and growing.

“Lower wage workers have too often faced structural barriers that make it harder to build, retain and grow retirement savings over time,” said Robert L. Johnson, Chairman of Retirement Clearinghouse. “With Deloitte’s deep technology experience, we can build upon the established operating foundation to innovate and expand existing retirement solutions so more workers can benefit.”

This strategic collaboration combines RCH’s clearinghouse architecture with Deloitte’s leadership in large-scale system implementations to expand adoption of clearinghouse technology. The focus is the development of a scalable model that can serve as a centralized channel for secure data integration and transactions, reducing the operational burden on retirement plan administrators and recordkeepers.

“Deloitte is pleased to team with RCH to help build new capabilities for the retirement savings ecosystem,” said Jason Salzetti, CEO and Chair, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “Bringing together a proven retirement infrastructure with our ability to scale innovative technology solutions will improve efficiency and enhance retirement savings portability.”

As part of this effort, Deloitte and RCH will engage industry stakeholders, recordkeepers, plan sponsors and plan administrators to help position these retirement savings innovations for universal adoption.
