Pensions Dashboards
Pensions dashboards build on the Government’s commitment to help people with better planning for retirement and to achieve financial security in their later life. Pensions dashboards are online services which will allow people to access their pension information in a clear and simple form. They will bring together an individual’s savings from multiple pensions, including State Pension, in a single place online. The Money and Pensions Service will bring together industry to lead the development and delivery of dashboards and Government has committed to facilitate this, including to provide an appropriate legislative framework and safeguard the interests of consumers. The Money and Pensions Service will also provide a non-commercial dashboard service.
	The Government sought views on making it a legal requirement for pension schemes to provide data via dashboards, in the Government’s consultation ‘Pensions dashboards: Working together for the consumer’,5 published on 3 December 2018. Overall, there was consensus that this is crucial for the successful delivery of dashboards. The ‘Government response to the consultation’, 6 published on 4 April 2019, confirmed the Government’s commitment to enact the necessary requirements.
