Our mission

Helping everyone save enough for later life

Saving for the future should feel simple, not stressful. We’re building a pension that helps people understand their money, take action, and feel more confident about what comes next.

The problem we’re here to solve

82% of people aren’t saving enough for retirement, according to The Institute for Fiscal Studies.

For many, pensions feel confusing, distant, or hard to manage. That makes it difficult to know whether you’re saving enough, where your money is, or what to do next.

We’re here to change that. Penfold helps everyone save more for their future by making pension saving easy, accessible and engaging.

What we believe

Pensions should feel clear

People should know where their money is and what they can do next.

Saving should feel manageable

Small actions can make a big difference over time.

Employers can make a real difference

The right workplace pension can help more people engage.

Financial confidence is for everyone

Everyone deserves the tools to plan for their future.

The Penfold way

We make pensions easier to understand, manage, and act on.

  • Clear by default

    Plain language and simple design make pensions feel less confusing

  • Built around action

    Savers can check progress, combine old pots, and contribute when they can

  • Designed for engagement

    Employers get tools that help their teams stay connected to their pension

Built for savers, ready for employers

Penfold started with one goal: make pensions easier for people to understand and manage.

We launched in 2019 to help self-employed people save for later life. Since then, we’ve grown into a workplace pension provider used by employers across the UK.

Today, over 140,000 people and thousands of businesses use Penfold for a simpler, more engaging pension experience.

Backed by people who believe pensions can be better

We're backed by some of the most experienced fintech investors and entrepreneurs in Europe. Our investors include venture capital firms Plug & Play Ventures and Force Over Mass Capital, as well as early backers in some of technology's biggest names like Spotify, Dropbox, Adyen and Funding Circle.

We’re proud to be supported by thousands of everyday savers who believe in our mission and have invested in us through our crowdfunding campaigns – on each occasion helping us reach our targets in under 24 hours.
