Can’t find your payroll provider?

Many payroll tools can export contribution data in a format Penfold can process, even if they aren’t listed here.

Speak to our team and we’ll help you find the best route for your setup.

A Penfold dashboard for “Acme Inc” is shown on a tablet. The company is marked as “Active,” with EmployerID/ESPR: PEN31864443 and a Pension Scheme Registry (PSR) number: 12017682. The main section prompts users to “Enrol Acme Inc employees and process their first contributions” by selecting payroll software. Four options are listed: Fresh Pay, Xero, Pento (all with automated integration), and BrightPay (CSV upload). A search bar is also provided, along with links to view all software options or indicate no payroll software is used. The left sidebar offers navigation for Employers, Contributions, Payments, and Employees.

A dashboard for “Bing accountancy” within the Penfold platform is displayed on a tablet. The interface shows two sections: “Enrol employees” and “Process contributions,” each allowing file uploads via drag-and-drop or browsing. Below, there is a status update with the last upload timestamp (17th April 2023, 10:00am) and user email (jane@bingaccountants.com). Statistics at the bottom show 17 employers, 232 enrolled employees, and 14 opt-outs. A pie chart illustrates the enrolment and opt-out numbers. A sidebar on the left includes navigation to the dashboard and employers.
