Pensions dashboards

The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) is working on a project with two main functions:

• making pensions dashboards possible – by creating the required governance, technical infrastructure and services to connect pension providers and schemes, which is being delivered through the Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP)
• providing a free, government-backed pensions dashboard – to be launched through MoneyHelper.

PDP aims to connect people to their pensions information through dashboards, allowing them to see workplace, private and State Pension information together in one place.

For pensions dashboards to work, the Department for Work and Pensions, pension providers and pension schemes all need to be able to connect to a single digital ecosystem.

Connecting all of these will allow dashboards to bring a saver’s pension information together into one place.

PDP has been:

• building the digital infrastructure needed to make pensions dashboards work
• developing standards relating to the practical operation of pensions dashboards services and
• developing the digital infrastructure needed to support them.

PDP aims to connect around 3,000 pension providers and schemes in scope of the legislation to the ecosystem in 2025 and 2026.

The first publicly available pensions dashboard will be on the MoneyHelper websiteOpens in a new window – our consumer-facing money and pensions guidance service. It will be open to all savers with a pension built up in the UK that’s:

• not yet been accessed, or
• is not currently being paid (for the State Pension, the user must be under State Pension age).

Through MoneyHelper we deliver impartial guidance, meaning the dashboard won’t sell financial products and won’t offer financial advice. However, users will be signposted to:

• the range of pension guidance available on MoneyHelperOpens in a new window
• options for finding regulated financial advice and
• booking a free Pension Wise appointmentOpens in a new window, available to those over 50.

In March 2026, we began the second phase of consumer testing. This phase will help us better understand how people interact with the dashboard and the value it provides. It will also help us make improvements to the service before it’s launched to the public.

If you are a pension provider or scheme, employer, charity or other business, you can help by inviting your members or customers to take part in testing.

Our comms toolkitOpens in a new window includes everything you need to help people sign up.

Other third-party organisations regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will be able to develop and host their own dashboards. These private sector dashboards will be introduced after the MoneyHelper Pensions Dashboard has been made publicly available.

PDP will set standards for private sector dashboard providers to ensure they meet design, security and reporting requirements. These will run alongside the FCA rules.

Delivering pensions dashboards involves collaboration with:

• the pensions industry
• regulators, such as The Pensions Regulator and the FCA, and
• the government (the Department for Work and Pensions).

We’ve engaged closely with these organisations through working groups, webinars, conferences and in-person events.

Through this collaboration, we’re raising awareness of the industry’s duties around pensions dashboards and gaining valuable insights and feedback.
