Capitalize helps individuals roll over their 401(k) retirement plans into Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). Their service is especially useful for people with multiple 401(k) accounts from previous jobs, as they use their technology and expert team to find these accounts and handle the rollover process. Capitalize partners with leading IRA providers, earning revenue when clients successfully transfer their funds, which allows them to offer their services for free to users. The company focuses on the advantages of IRAs, such as more investment choices and better control over retirement savings, regardless of job status. Clients appreciate the straightforward and efficient rollover experience, and Capitalize also supports Roth 401(k) rollovers to help clients keep their tax benefits.
