Aegon reveals intention to launch pensions dashboard

Aegon has announced its intention to launch its own commercial pension dashboard.  

This followed the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) recent publication on the regulatory framework for pensions dashboard service firms.

Pension dashboards will allow individuals to securely see all their pensions, including individual, workplace, private and public sector, defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC), and also State Pensions, not yet in payment, online in one place.  

Aegon supported plans to prioritise the availability of the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) Pension Dashboard to consumers ahead of making Qualifying Pension Dashboard Services (QPDS) available.   

Nick Roy, director of client and partnership development at Aegon, said: “Dashboards will be a gamechanger in how people engage with their pension savings, so we are focused on enhancing our customer offering and supporting better customer outcomes. 

“We are assessing options that will allow us to ensure our dashboard meets and exceeds our customers’ needs.

“This considered approach will enable us to make our dashboard industry leading.   

“This will be another major step in the work we have already undertaken in building a leading digital savings and retirement platform.
