Partnering with Perkbox to bring modern pensions to more workplaces



Penfold is now available through Perkbox’s Benefits Store, helping more employers offer a simple, digital workplace pension as part of their benefits package.
Pensions are one of the most important benefits an employer can offer.
But for many employees, they can still feel complicated, distant, or hard to engage with. And for employers, choosing a workplace pension that’s simple to manage and easy for teams to understand can be a challenge.
That’s why we’re pleased to announce our new partnership with Perkbox.
Perkbox is a global employee benefits and rewards platform that brings perks, wellbeing support, rewards, and benefits into one app for employers and their teams.
Through this partnership, Penfold is joining the Perkbox Benefits Store, giving employers a simple way to explore and offer a modern workplace pension alongside their wider benefits package.
Employee benefits have changed a lot over the last few years.
People still value things like discounts, flexible working, healthcare, and lifestyle perks. But they’re also thinking more seriously about long-term financial security.
Recent Penfold research found that UK workers consider a workplace pension more important when deciding whether to join a new employer than flexible working, bonus schemes, healthcare plans, and lifestyle perks.
That tells us something important.
Employees don’t just want benefits that help them today. They want support that helps them plan for the future too.
By adding Penfold to the Perkbox Benefits Store, employers can bring pensions into the wider benefits conversation. Not as something hidden away in payroll or paperwork, but as a core part of financial wellbeing.
Penfold was built to make pensions clearer, simpler, and easier to manage.
Our digital workplace pension helps employees see where their money is going, understand their pension, and take more control of their retirement savings.
For employers, Penfold offers a simple way to manage workplace pensions without adding unnecessary admin.
Through Perkbox, more employers will be able to discover Penfold as part of a broader benefits package. This gives them more choice and helps them offer benefits that support employees at every stage of life.
Natalie Jutla, Head of Financial Wellbeing at Perkbox, said:
“Pensions shouldn’t feel out of reach. We wanted to partner with someone who makes this simpler for both employers and employees. This gives our customers real choice and the tools to engage with their financial future on their own terms.”
For many employees, their workplace pension will be one of the biggest financial assets they build over their lifetime.
So it deserves more attention.
Partnering with Perkbox helps us bring pensions into a space where employees are already engaging with their benefits. It also helps employers offer a more complete financial wellbeing package, with long-term savings sitting alongside everyday perks and support.
Chris Eastwood, CEO of Penfold, said:
“We are excited to have joined forces with Perkbox to champion our digital workplace pension. Perkbox has built an excellent platform that supports millions of employees, and we are committed to helping them further by providing a workplace pensions offering that prioritises their financial wellbeing.
Traditional perks such as gym memberships, flexible working, and bonus schemes will always remain appealing to employees, but they don’t offer the future financial security that a core workplace pension does. The tides are turning, and employees are looking to establish a secure financial foundation for the years to come. Our partnership with Perkbox will allow employees to begin retirement planning by using our digital workplace pension.”
At Penfold, we believe pensions should be easier to access, easier to understand, and easier to engage with.
This partnership is another step towards that goal.
By working with Perkbox, we’re helping more employers offer a pension that feels modern, useful, and part of the employee experience.
Because a great benefits package should support people today and help them build confidence about tomorrow.
