BT Pension Scheme Connects to Pensions Dashboard System
The UK's largest corporate defined benefit pension scheme, BT Pension Scheme, has linked its 250,000 members to the national pensions dashboards ecosystem. This milestone comes less than a year before the government's statutory connection deadline on 31 October 2026.
Integration Through Procentia’s IntelliPen Platform
The £33 billion BT Pension Scheme became the first client of administration technology provider Procentia to connect using its IntelliPen administration platform. This step strengthens the company's position within the dashboard integration network.
“Pensions dashboards have the potential to transform the way people think, feel, and engage with their pensions. We’ve long supported the programme and look forward to the next phase of the rollout,” said Jill Mackenzie, chair of the BT Pension Scheme.
Pensions Dashboards Programme Reports Progress
The Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) announced that around 75% of pension records within the dashboard system’s remit are now connected. The programme has already integrated over 60 million workplace and personal pension records, along with tens of millions of state pension records.
