Smart Pension connects to Pensions Dashboards Programme

Run by the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) in partnership with the Government, industry and regulators, the dashboard will collate personal, workplace and state pension data from all pension providers from October 2026 and provide clear and simple information to savers.

Two thirds of UK savers hold multiple pension pots from different providers but risk losing track of these over the course of their lifetime. As auto-enrolment has become more widespread and people change jobs more often, the number of missing pots has increased.

With just 12% of savers fully confident they will save enough to retire comfortably, the dashboard will play an important role in helping individuals to identify vital ‘lost’ pension pots, which are currently estimated to be worth around £31.1bn in the UK – the equivalent of £9,470 per person. 

Smart Pension is a leading innovator transforming the pensions market and a part of the wider Smart group. Smart Pension’s connection to the dashboard is seamlessly facilitated by Keystone, Smart’s proprietary technology platform, which is designed to integrate quickly with external applications, like the dashboard, and handle multiple requests from external applications at speed. This connection further demonstrates the capabilities of Smart’s ecosystem, which aims to enhance the pensions journey and set new industry standards.

Jamie Fiveash, CEO of Smart Pension, said:

“Over the past decade, we have shown that technology has the power to simplify pension saving for our members. We are excited to be part of the collaborative Pensions Dashboard Programme, which will provide savers with clear, simple and trusted sources of information and help deliver better financial outcomes for all UK savers.

“More people than ever are now saving their money through Smart Pension. The strength of our technology has been an important driver of our growth, and we expect current acquisitions and new business to take the Trust to £10bn assets by the end of next year.

“Smart Pension is one of a very small number of providers using proprietary, in-house technology to connect to the Pensions Dashboard Programme. Our parent group’s industry-leading platform Keystone is scalable, cost-effective and is designed to manage this large-scale, digital infrastructure project seamlessly and at speed.”
