We might be nearing the end of summer, but the future remains bright for those who take an interest in their pension. Read on to find out what PensionBee was up to in August.
We worked on making your pension experience even easier
Last month, we implemented a feature that allows you to upload the documentation that we sometimes need from your existing pension providers to enable a transfer. This further simplifies our pension transfer process so you can spend less time with paperwork and more time building your pension pot. You’ll find this new feature by heading to the ‘Transfers’ tab once logged in to the BeeHive via our website. The update is coming soon to our mobile app.
We’ve also been working on building a new way for you to contribute to your pension. It leverages industry-leading Open Banking technology that’ll enable you to make Easy Bank Transfers into your pension so it’s even simpler to save for a happy retirement. Stay tuned for further details next month.
We received our 5,000th Trustpilot review
Last month, we received our 5,000th review on Trustpilot, where we have an overall Excellent rating of 4.7 out of 5. Customer feedback helps us continue to improve and we love hearing about our customers’ thoughts and experiences. Thank you to all of our customers who take the time to leave a review on Trustpilot or who get in touch on social media!
We were shortlisted for several awards
We’re excited to announce that we’ve been shortlisted in several of the pensions industry’s most prestigious awards. We’ve been shortlisted for ‘Pension Provider of the Year’ and ‘Diversity and Inclusion Excellence’ at the Workplace Savings & Benefits Awards, ‘Industry Game Changer’ and ‘ESG Champion of the Year’ at the Growth Investor Awards 2021, and four awards including ‘Pensions Technology Provider of the Year’ at the European Pensions Awards. Huge congratulations to all of this year’s finalists!
