Over 70m pension records are now connected to the Pensions Dashboards ecosystem, representing about 85% of the records expected to connect, according to the government-backed Money and Pensions Service (MAPS).

Today marks the first deadline for pension schemes to register their connection with the Pensions Dashboard ecosystem.

Pension trustees have been urged to act ahead of the looming Pensions Dashboard staging dates to avoid unnecessary costs, protect member benefits and ensure a smooth transition.
