Pensions dashboards: MaPS connection registration process for FCA-regulated providers
United Kingdom | Publication | February 2025
The Financial Conduct Authority has published a webpage explaining how FCA-regulated pension providers register their connection to the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) pension dashboard ecosystem.
Under the DWP's staged timetable for connection to the MaPS ecosystem, FCA-regulated providers are expected to connect by:
- April 30, 2025 (providers with 5,000 or more relevant members).
- January 31, 2026 (providers with less than 5,000 relevant members).
The first stage of the connection process is to register connection with the MaPS. Firms in scope of FCA regulation for dashboards must request a registration code via a form which can be downloaded from the website at the above link. The webpage explains what information should be provided for the FCA to issue the code.
Following receipt of their code, firms should follow the guidance for "connecting via a third party", which will be available on the Pensions Dashboard Programme website.
