As economists reflect on the ups and downs of 2021, at PensionBee we’re looking ahead at 2022 with anticipation. And we’re starting with our new year’s goal of giving back to our customers. We’ve released a new episode of The Pension Confident Podcast, hosted by Peter Komolafe, and we’re helping thousands of customers align their financial goals with the planet by switching to our Fossil Fuel Free Plan.

Read on to learn how else we’ve been kicking off the new year.

We released the second episode of The Pension Confident Podcast

Are you self-employed, or toying with making the switch? In the second episode of The Pension Confident Podcast, we explore the things you need to know when it comes to your self-employed pension, with Emma Jones CBE, founder of Enterprise Nation and our Head of Product, Martin Parzonka.
