In September 2025, we successfully completed our connection to the Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) digital architecture.
Pensions Dashboards will allow savers to see all their pension savings information together in one place online. The Pensions Dashboards Programme, part of the Money and Pensions Service, has designed the digital architecture, standards and rules that enable the information to be shared securely. It’s also helping pension schemes connect to the pensions dashboards ecosystem. MoneyHelper – also part of the Money and Pensions Service – is creating a pension dashboard – which is the digital tool savers will use to be able to see their savings.
The MoneyHelper Pensions Dashboard will be the first dashboard to go live, although in the future, the government might also allow the private sector to provide commercial dashboards. The MoneyHelper dashboard is currently undergoing both industry and user testing ahead of its public launch. The government plans to allow other organisations to have their own dashboards in the future – but the first step will be to launch the MoneyHelper one.
We’ve asked MoneyHelper and the PDP to include our members in this user testing phase, to help shape the development of the MoneyHelper dashboard. Member involvement will be determined by the PDP and MoneyHelper.
In preparation, we’ve also provided feedback on the communications that will support the user testing phase.
At this stage, the PDP hasn’t announced when the MoneyHelper dashboard will be launched to the public. This will depend on the outcomes of user testing and progress on connecting other schemes to pensions dashboards digital architecture – work that will continue into 2026. Before launching the MoneyHelper dashboard to the public, PDP and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) want to make sure enough providers and schemes are connected so people logging in will be able to view most or all of their pensions.
The final group of pension providers and schemes is scheduled to connect by October 2026, and the DWP has committed to announcing the public launch date at least six months in advance of the full go-live date.
