Why Thousands of Plans Trust Berwyn

“The locate report is awesome – 99% of them were legit. I had a totally different address, or I put in bad address.”

– Multi-Employer Pension Manager

“I love the convenience of Berwyn running the death audit every Friday
and providing obituaries without me having to initiate anything like predecessor death audit system.”

– Government Pension Administrator

“The service we use is simple to use and has reliable results.”

– Corporate Director of Operations

“We used Berwyn in my previous company that we found was extremely valuable. Berwyn was able to find many more deaths than we were with our other vendor, thus stopping many payments that should have been stopped long before that.”

– Multi-Employer Benefits Analyst

“When we look up records and realize there’s been an address change, it makes it easier for us to contact our members to request they update their address with us instead of just waiting for them to remember they have an account with us. We like to be proactive.”

– Government Benefits Specialist

“Excellent customer service response time and receive periodic death updates with verifiable sources.”

– Consulting Agency
