Pensions Dashboards Programme announces first pension provider successfully connects to dashboards ecosystem
United Kingdom | Publication | April 2025
On April 17, 2025, it was announced by the Pensions Dashboards Programme that the first pension provider had successfully connected to the pensions dashboards ecosystem, in line with the government's staging timetable. The pensions press subsequently confirmed that Legal & General (L&G) was the provider in question.
This follows the completion of connection journeys by three volunteer participants, including L&G, in March 2025, paving the way for other pension providers and schemes to connect.
As more providers and schemes are currently due to connect during April 2025, the Pensions Dashboards Programme reminded participants to have regard to the DWP's guidance when forming their connection plans. It has also been recognised that, due to the complex process, several volunteer participants will not be able to complete their connection journey by the end of April. For now, there will be no regulatory intervention by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Pensions Regulator for providers and schemes who are unable to meet their "connect by" date.
User testing with the MoneyHelper pensions dashboard is expected to start in the summer to bring the public closer to using dashboards for retirement planning.
