How to Access TransUnion 401(k)?

TransUnion is listed as the plan sponsor for the TransUnion 401(k) that appears on your pay stub, benefits summary, or annual 401(k) statement. You can confirm this by checking the 'Sponsor' line in the plan document or by logging into the TransUnion employee benefits portal where the sponsor is displayed alongside your account balance.

If the sponsor shows a different name, contact your HR representative to verify whether you're enrolled in a legacy or outsourced plan; otherwise you can proceed to locate the plan provider and plan number in the next step.

Your TransUnion 401(k) provider and plan number show up on every official document you've received, so pull the latest 401(k) statement, the Summary Plan Description (SPD), or the enrollment welcome packet; the provider name appears at the top and the plan number is listed near the account details.

If you can't find a paper copy, log into the internal employee benefits portal - TransUnion usually lists the provider under 'Retirement Plans' - or call HR and ask for the provider's contact information and the nine‑digit plan number.

Log into your TransUnion 401(k) by following these five quick actions.

1. Find your plan provider's website - The TransUnion 401(k) is usually hosted by a third‑party administrator such as Fidelity or Vanguard. Locate the URL on your most recent account statement or the welcome email you received when you enrolled.
2. Enter your username - Use the email address or employee ID you set up during enrollment. If you cannot locate it, the provider's 'Forgot Username' tool will retrieve it after you confirm your name and Social Security number.
3. Type your password - Input the password you created when you first logged in. Passwords are case‑sensitive and must meet the provider's complexity rules (typically at least eight characters, one number, one special character).
4. Complete the security check - Most portals require a one‑time passcode sent to your phone or email, or an answer to a previously selected security question. Enter the code or answer exactly as stored.
5. Confirm you're on the TransUnion 401(k) dashboard - After authentication, you should see the TransUnion 401(k) summary page with balances, contribution history, and investment options. If you land on a different product, use the 'Switch Plans' menu to select the TransUnion 401(k) account.

If you've forgotten your TransUnion 401(k) username or password, you can recover or reset them online in just a few clicks.

• Visit the TransUnion 401(k) plan‑provider's login page (e.g., Fidelity, Voya) and select 'Forgot Username?' or 'Forgot Password?'.
• Provide the email address you used when you first enrolled; the portal will email a recovery link or temporary password.
• Confirm your identity with your Social Security number, date of birth, and the plan number you located in the 'locate your 401(k) plan provider' section.
• Follow the emailed instructions to set a new password that meets the provider's complexity requirements.
• If the online process fails, call the provider's member‑services number (found on your quarterly statement) and give the same identity details; they will reset your credentials manually.

To verify your identity for the TransUnion 401(k) portal you'll need a few key documents, a current phone number, and some employment records.

• Government‑issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport)
• Full Social Security number (not just the last four digits)
• Recent pay stub, W‑2, or earnings statement that lists your employee ID and employer name
• Marriage certificate or legal name‑change document if the name on your ID differs from your employment records
• Utility bill, bank statement, or credit‑card statement showing the same residential address as your 401(k) account

Phone numbers you may be asked to confirm:

• Your employer's HR or payroll hotline (the number printed on your pay stub)
• TransUnion benefits center  -  TransUnion benefits contact page, 1‑800‑555‑1234, 8 am - 6 pm ET

Employment records useful for the identity check:

• Employee ID number
• 401(k) plan number from your most recent statement
• Email address you used when you first enrolled

Having these items ready lets you complete the identity verification step before resetting your password or logging in.

Find your employee ID on your latest pay stub or in the TransUnion payroll portal; the number appears beside your name.

If you cannot access a stub, log into the TransUnion Benefits Center (your ID shows on the profile screen) or call HR using the number on the intranet. HR contact details are listed on the TransUnion HR contact page.

After you have the ID, return to the TransUnion 401(k) login page and use the 'Forgot Username/Password' link to complete verification.

You can access your TransUnion 401(k) after leaving the company by signing into the plan's online portal with your former employee ID and password, or by calling the plan administrator's support line if you no longer have those credentials. The portal will still recognize your account once the employer's payroll records confirm your termination date, so the same login process used while you were employed typically works; otherwise, the support team will verify your identity using your Social Security number and a recent pay stub.

After you've logged in, the dashboard lets you view balances, change beneficiary designations, and request a rollover, withdrawal, or required distribution - the options covered in the next section. If you encounter any lockout, follow the password‑reset steps described earlier, then proceed to the rollover request form to move the funds to an IRA or new employer plan.

Request a rollover, withdrawal, or required distribution from your TransUnion 401(k) by completing the plan‑specific distribution form and submitting it to the recorded plan administrator.

First, confirm your identity as described in 'documents, phone numbers, and records to prove your identity.' Then, choose the appropriate option:

• Rollover: fill the 'direct‑rollover' section, provide the receiving IRA or employer plan's account number, and sign the electronic authorization.
• Withdrawal: indicate the amount, select a lump‑sum or periodic payout, and acknowledge any early‑withdrawal penalties that may apply.
• Required Minimum Distribution (RMD): calculate the annual RMD using IRS tables, enter the figure, and elect either a direct deposit or mailed check.

After the form is signed, email or fax it to the address listed on the TransUnion 401(k) portal, keep a copy for your records, and allow 7‑10 business days for processing. Expect a 1099‑R for withdrawals or rollovers; consult a tax professional if unsure. For the next step, review 'spot and fix missing contributions or employer match errors' to ensure your balance reflects the distribution you requested.

Identify missing contributions or employer‑match errors by comparing each pay stub to the corresponding TransUnion 401(k) statement, then contact payroll or the plan administrator to request a correction.

A typical scenario: your March stub shows a $300 employee deferral, but the March 401(k) ledger records only $250; the $50 shortfall flags a missing contribution. In the same month, the plan matches 100% of the first $1,000, yet the statement shows a $200 match instead of the expected $300.

Log into the provider portal, note the discrepancy, and email HR with the stub, statement excerpt, and a brief request for a 'retroactive correction.' Payroll will usually process an adjustment in the next payroll cycle, and the plan sponsor will post the corrected amounts to your account.

Claim a deceased relative's TransUnion 401(k) by first confirming you are the named beneficiary on the plan's most recent beneficiary designation; then gather a certified copy of the death certificate, a government‑issued ID, and, if you are not the executor, a notarized Letter of Administration or Letters Testamentary; contact the TransUnion 401(k) plan administrator (the contact listed on the Summary Plan Description or the provider you identified in section 2) and request the beneficiary claim packet, submit the completed forms together with the supporting documents, and specify whether you want a direct rollover, a cash distribution, or a lump‑sum transfer;

the administrator will review the paperwork, may require probate approval if the account lacks a clear beneficiary, and once approved will disburse the funds according to the plan's distribution rules, after which you can proceed with the rollover or withdrawal steps described in section 8.
