According to Braun, the resources and services that Patra provides “are aligned seamlessly with BAN’s goal to offer employee benefit firms with the tools they need to grow and scale efficiently.”

The addition of Patra’s partnership further supports BAN’s network, where member agencies work as peers to pool their experience, industry knowledge, and data in order to streamline and maximize the growth of their businesses.

Going forward, Patra will also participate in BAN conferences.
