Penfold is crowdfunding!

Today we’re absolutely thrilled to announce that, after a successful Series A investment round, we’re giving our savers the chance to join in our mission to make pensions better. We're crowdfunding!

Here’s what’s happening and why we’re doing it.

Join our mission to fix pensions

This crowdfund is all about opening up Penfold to our wonderful community.

We started Penfold for one reason. We believe that pensions today just aren’t good enough.

Traditional providers make saving for retirement too difficult. Outdated technology and endless jargon leaves people confused and disengaged.

So we built a modern, easy to use pension that has already helped over 25,000 customers save more than £90m for later life.

Our mission is to be the pension that stays with people throughout their life and gets millions more people saving enough for retirement.

We’re offering you the exclusive opportunity to play your part in this mission.

What is a crowdfund?

Crowdfunding is a way for growing businesses to receive investments from their community.

Savers like you have helped Penfold become what we are today - and now, you can join our story. This crowdfund gives you the chance to own shares in Penfold and become an integral part of our story from as little as £10.

Penfold will be listed on Crowdcube, the UK’s largest online crowdfunding platform.

You may remember we also ran a crowdfund last year.

Our progress

Our last crowdfund was an incredible experience that we'll remember forever.

In May last year, we managed to reach our £3m investment target in less than 24 hours - with thousands of Penfold savers investing in our company.

Since then, we’ve been busy.

We launched our workplace pension, finally engaging employees with their auto-enrolment savings and rethinking pensions for HR and Finance teams.

Here's a quick summary of how we've grown over the last 12 months.

• Signing over 150 businesses to Penfold Workplace
• Growing to over 25,000 active customers
• Growing customer savings 4x to £90m+

We’ve also just finished up our Series A investment round, raising £5m from some of the biggest VC firms in tech - taking our total funding amount to £14m.

Now, we’re inviting you, our community, to join in.

Why invest in Penfold?

On top of continuing to deliver more for our existing savers, we’re also looking to bring our amazing pension experience to even more people.

A big part of our future will be continuing to build our popular workplace pension.

Penfold workplace launched in November 2021 and has grown quickly. Today, we’re the pension provider for over 150 businesses, looking after more than 5,500 staff - alongside our 20,000 private customers.

We’re raising our Series A to build on this momentum and fund our next chapter of growth.
