About Penfold
Penfold is the award-winning digital pension designed to help everyone take control of their savings and grow their wealth.
Our mission
Getting more people saving more for the future
We believe that the pensions industry is broken.
Traditional providers, with their outdated products and poor customer service, have put people off saving.
The world of work is rapidly changing and the pensions industry is falling further and further behind.
The result is we're living through a silent savings crisis.
We started Penfold to address this crisis and get more people saving more for their future.
Our approach
A purpose-built pension platform
We've done away with the legacy systems and processes that old-school pension providers are built on.
By creating a pension platform built on modern technology, we are creating an experience that meets the needs of savers today.
Our platform transforms the saving experience from something that feels complicated, time-consuming and full of jargon to something that feels motivating and exciting.
Whether you're self-employed, employed or running your own business, saving with us means feeling empowered with the knowledge and tools to make the right decisions for your future.
And with the future taken care of, you can get back to enjoying the here and now.
Our story
Foundations
We started as the pension for the self-employed in 2019.
Up to 80% of self-employed people weren't saving into a pension. We set out to solve that by building a flexible and straightforward pension that got self-employed saving.
Expansion
We expanded our pension to all individual savers in early 2021.
Our pension can help everyone contribute, transfer and engage with their pension savings. We started focusing on limited company directors and those in full-time work as well.
Welcoming workplace
We launched our Workplace proposition in Autumn 2021.
Pensions are one of the most expensive benefits companies offer. They don't work for employers or employees. We started offering the future of workplace pensions.
The future is bright
We've got over 50,000 users and 100s of Workplace clients.
And we've still got so much further to go to make sure everyone is saving enough for a great retirement.
