"At Voya, the average length of our client relationships across government, education, health care and non-profits spans nearly a quarter of a century. This reinforces our experience in and commitment to these market segments and the distinctive value we provide. That includes our size, scale and ability to innovate with a purpose, as well as our distinctive service model, which offers phone and on-site support."
