Payment Integration Manager, also referred to as PIM, is the online portal for adminstrators powered by NWPS, Eder’s retirement plan recordkeeper, where you will process payroll and manage retirement contributions. It’s the system we use to better ensure the data is accurate when compared with sending paper forms and emails. 

To get started, you will need to submit a PIM user setup and virtual training request. Upon submitting the request, NWPS will contact you within two business days. Once you’ve secured login credentials and completed training, you’re ready to use the platform.

You will use the PIM platform to: 

• Enroll/terminate employees 

• Update salary changes 

• Set up/edit/terminate ACH contributions and payments 

• View your church’s payment history 

• Cancel recurring payments 

• Change the bank account information 

Need more help? Refer to the PIM FAQ document for step-by-step instructions. 

If an employee has annual salary updates…

Please be sure to update salary information in the PIM portal annually or whenever you provide pay increases to your employees. This will need to be done in the payments section AND the employee demographic section. The Remittance Worksheet (Link) can help you with these calculations, but you must enter them into the portal. Reach out to  erpemployerteam@nwpretirement.com for support.

If you have a new employee…

When you enroll a new employee and set up their contributions, the next step is to send them the Eder Retirement Plan welcome letter so they can access their account online via the member portal. The employee should email the Eder Member Service Center, powered by NWPS, at erpservicecenter@nwpretirement.com or call 866-723-0001 if they have questions. 

Organizational Investing and Planned Gift Management

If you are a new administer…

Whenever anyone on your authorization form is no longer a part of your board or leadership team, a new authorization form must be submitted. Examples are if you have a new church treasurer, a finance committee chair leaves, or you have a new office administrator who needs to be removed from having authorization to make changes to your Organizational Investing account.

Once your authorization form has been completed and signed by all parties, you should return the form to Eder via a secure manner. The “Help” section of our Organizational Investing portal, Eder Financial Portal Login is an appropriate secure manner, but you may also fax or send it via regular mail.

You will need to provide a supporting document that lists the name and title of the person signing at the bottom of the first page. Common examples of supporting documents include board meeting minutes, denominational directories, and corporate resolutions. If you have any questions email oi@eder.org .

If you want to update allocations, rebalances, or submit a transaction…

Submit all contributions, distribution, or transfers through the portal. Other asset management forms can be found at ederfinancial.org/Asset-Management-Forms. Please keep in mind that there are extended processing times for requests sent via mail, paper contribution/distribution/transfer forms, and for checks. The best and most secure way to submit transactions is through the transaction process in the portal and elect for an electronic funds transfer.

Allocation & Rebalance Forms and Authorization forms should be sent through the “Help” section of the Organizational Investing Portal.

If you want more information about Planned & Deferred Gifts… For more information about Planned and Deferred Gifts visit: ederfinancial.org/Deferred-Gifts. Planned and deferred gift forms are found at the bottom of the page.
