Last month, we made a buzz on social media as we celebrated reaching 500,000 Registered Customers by adopting 500 worker bees on World Bee Day. Exceeding half a million customers is an exciting milestone and we look forward to helping many more savers plan for a happy retirement.
Read on to find out what else we were up to in May.
We worked on some important product improvements
You now have the ability to set up two-factor authentication via our website. Once enabled, every time you log in with your email address and password, we’ll send a six-digit security code to your phone to make your account even more secure. Don’t forget that you can also set this up via our mobile app by heading to the ‘Account’ tab once logged in to the BeeHive.
This month we’ll be focussing our efforts on improving the way we process pension withdrawals, so it’ll be even easier for customers aged 55 and over to access their savings. As ever, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas! You can get in touch with PensionBee by emailing feedback@pensionbee.com.
Watch our new documentary, PensionBee explained
We were busy bees last month, working on a short film that explains everything from who PensionBee is to how our product works. Head over to our YouTube channel to hear from several of our lovely customers, learn about our long-term vision and find out why we’re committed to achieving wider representation and equality in the pensions industry.
