SAN FRANCISCO (March 27, 2001) - Decimal, Inc. (www.theonline401k.com), the online retirement company, today announced that TriNet Group, Inc. (www.trinet.com), a human resources (HR) outsourcer offering a single point of contact for benefits, payroll, and HR support, has selected its solution, The Online 401(k), as its exclusive 401(k) strategic partner.

TriNet's customers can now bring the benefits of The Online 401(k), an affordable, effective and comprehensive Web-based 401(k) solution, to their employees. TriNet's sales force will offer The Online 401(k) to its customers nationwide as part of its end-to-end HR solution. The Online 401(k) features complete online 401(k) plan administration and testing, daily valuation record keeping, fund selection assistance through Certified Financial Planners, online plan design, and 24/7 access to plan status along with a dedicated customer relationship manager. Companies can set-up their 401(k) plan using an online interface, and participants can manage their individual accounts entirely over the Web.

"After evaluating a number of Web-based 401(k) providers, The Online 401(k) stood out as the only provider that is truly independent and committed to offering an unbiased, quality 401(k) program that helps employees maximize their chances to meet their financial goals", said Greg Hammond, TriNet's Executive Vice President of Strategic Development.

Research shows that the 401(k) is now the fastest growing savings tool in the U.S., and it is likely to become the largest asset Americans own, with the possible exception of their home. In addition to the crucial role a 401(k) plays in an employee's financial future, it is also an effective recruiting and morale boosting tool an employer can use to remain competitive.

"We are very pleased that a leading and established HR outsourcer such as TriNet has selected our 401(k) platform," said Stephan Kyle, Decimal's VP of Strategic Alliances. "It allows us to further expand our presence in the small business 401(k) market.
