Most workplace pensions are ignored

For employees, their pension is one of the most valuable benefits they receive. Yet most people rarely check it, don’t understand how much they’ve saved, and aren’t sure whether they’re on track for retirement.

That means employers are investing heavily in a benefit that often goes unnoticed. Penfold is designed to change that.

By making pensions simpler, clearer and easier to access, we help employees engage with their retirement savings and get more value from their pension.

Next to her is a mobile app interface for Penfold, showing a recent pension contribution of £400 from “Acme Inc.” The total pension pot value is displayed as £12,994.54, with options to transfer or add money. Below, recent pension transfer statuses are shown, along with a “Your forecast” section about retirement projections.

A pension that’s genuinely a benefit

When employees understand their pension, they’re far more likely to pay attention to it.

Penfold helps employees see what they’ve saved, understand what it means for their future, and take simple actions to improve their retirement outcomes.

Behind that is a pension built to deliver real value, with carefully selected investment options, competitive fees and a user experience designed around clarity.

Instead of a benefit employees ignore, you get one they actually use.

Everyone needs an auto-enrolment pension scheme, so why not use the best one? Penfold really stands out with the customer service it offers. They’re so much more flexible and on top of things than any other pension provider I’ve spoken to. Investment performance is most important, and Penfold’s historical performance is excellent.

Penfold’s team of dedicated experts are super responsive and will help me with any kind of questions or queries that I might have. There’s no longer this restriction where I’m working as a kind of middleman. In fact, people can just go straight to the source and get whatever information they need. Penfold was absolutely amazing in terms of the education, the training, and all the administrative backlog that goes on with moving over pension providers. It ran so smoothly.

Penfold is dramatically better than anything we’ve worked with before and has helped me by removing all of the admin that comes with pensions. ‘Saving time’ is one of the key benefits that encourages me to recommend it to others. Penfold’s been a huge success at Cuvva, with 88% of the company logging into the app to view their pensions.
