Whether you’re loving or loathing the heat, it’s safe to say that the ‘Great British Summer’ is finally here. In between the awards ceremonies and the sunshine, our team has been working hard to make managing your pension even easier. Here’s what we’ve been up to this July.
We’ve made it even easier to see your pension balance grow
We’ve made a few changes to the ‘Balance’ tab in the BeeHive so it’s now even easier for you to understand your transactions. As part of this we’ve changed how your tax top ups are displayed so it’s more straightforward to see which tax top up relates to which contribution.
You’ll also be able to see more information on your rewards, from the name of the person you successfully referred to the corresponding tax top up. Remember, you can recommend PensionBee to your friends, and as soon as they successfully transfer a pension, we’ll automatically add £50 to your pension and £50 to theirs too (£40, plus a £10 tax top up). Full terms and conditions can be found on our website.
We’ve invested over half a billion pounds on your behalf
We’re proud to announce that we have now surpassed _higher_rate_personal_savings_allowancem in pension money, with a further £400m on its way. That means you’ve trusted us with almost a billion pounds of your retirement savings!
Thanks to you, PensionBee has become a key challenger and disruptor in one of the oldest industries – in just a few years. We don’t take the trust you’ve placed in us lightly and will keep campaigning for change and listening to your feedback, so we can continue to bring you a leading pension product.
Our app’s just turned 1
Can you believe it’s already been a year since we launched our mobile app? The app was designed to help you to manage your pension with ease, with 24/7 access to your balance and the ability to view past performance and make contributions – all from the palm of your hand.
We’ve got lots of exciting updates planned over the next few months so watch this space. If you haven’t already, download the PensionBee app from the Apple App and Google Play Stores.
Don’t forget you can also see your PensionBee balance in some other leading money management apps including Starling, Yolt, Moneyhub, Money Dashboard and Emma.
Keep an eye out for our next update on our blog. We’re always working on new features to make our customers happy, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, please let us know in the comments section or over on social media, and we’ll feed it back to the team.
