    • The choices you make today for your retirement needs will dictate the quality of your retirement tomorrow. Investing for retirement requires a good plan and the discipline to follow it, but there are several options available. ING has been chosen as a provider for the Texas Optional Retirement Program (ORP) – an alternative to the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) – and the 403(b) Tax Deferred Annuity Program.

    At ING, we recognize that this is your retirement plan and are therefore constantly striving to provide you with innovative products and superior customer service. Our approach is to educate you about your ORP options, work with you to establish a long-term plan tailored to help meet your retirement goals, and meet regularly with you to review the plan and its progress.

    In order to offer you easy access to information about the ORP and 403(b) Tax Deferred Annuity Program, we have developed this custom Web site that allows you to access your account information and make account transactions. It will also provide you with comprehensive plan information, and investment and retirement planning educational materials. Just click on the links at the top of the page to change the menus that appear on the left side of your screen.

    This Web site is only one of the methods for you to receive information about the Programs and your account. Other services available include:

  • Dedicated representatives for Texas college and university campuses
