Keep your personal details up to date
You can help us to give you all the benefits of the Smart Pension membership by making sure that the personal information in your account is up to date.
Checking your personal details – what you need to consider
1. Have you moved address recently, but forgotten to let us know?
2. Have you got married or divorced, meaning that your name has changed?
3. Are the details we currently hold about you correct, including your National Insurance number and date of birth?
4. Have you given us your personal email address and contact telephone number? These are useful in case you change employer.

Why do we need you to keep your data up to date?
If all the personal information on your Smart Pension account is up to date, you can be sure of being kept fully informed about all aspects of your pension scheme. Additionally, when the government’s new pension dashboard is launched, you’ll be able to see all your pension savings, including your state pension, in one place.

Why is keeping personal information up to date important for the pensions dashboard?
The pension dashboard is being introduced by the Money and Pensions Service and expected to go ‘live’ in 2024/25. As your pension provider, we are required to share some data with the dashboard provider. The good news is that the dashboard will be free to use and allow you to see your pension savings – even those from previous jobs as well as the State Pension – in one place, assuming that all your personal details are up to date.
