AUGUST 2015 E-NEWS 
A Message From Our CEO

There is a lot to look forward to this autumn, like our new Digital Application Portal (DAP), which is a fast and seamless way for advisors to open an account application on behalf of their clients within 24 hours.  This paperless option will reduce processing times and errors with the ability to electronically sign the application via email. Also, have you noticed our website is taking on a new look? Our marketing team is working hard to create a friendlier, more interactive website for your convenience. Lastly, I'm excited to announce that Provident was Named Top IRA Custodian in America for 2015. Full rankings and analysis can be found here in the Trust Advisor's report on America's Best IRA Custodians, which shows that Provident is the undisputed leader, capturing 22% of the overall vote.
