Smart Pension is our new London based fin-tech client disrupting and revolutionising the pensions industry. Our developers paid them a visit to meet with other members of the team and discuss further product development.

About Smart Pension

Smart Pension is a global savings technology platform provider. It is also one of the UK’s largest providers of workplace pensions. Its award-winning master trust is MAF-accredited and overseen by independent professional trustees. It was co-founded in 2014 by Andrew Evans, CEO, and Will Wynne, MD, and launched in May 2015. Europe’s second largest asset manager Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) took a minority stake in the digital pension platform in 2016, part of a move by LGIM to invest in high-achieving, innovative technology that has a positive impact on the wider economy.

In 2017, Smart Pension was named “Fintech Innovation of the Year” and the overall winner in the “Digital Leaders 100 Awards”, and at the European Pension Awards last year it was named “Master Trust of the Year”.
