Hargreaves Lansdown will use Origo’s ‘full service’ proposition to enable it to connect to the pensions dashboard and respond to data requests from consumers.
Origo says its dashboard connector has designed to enable pension providers and administrators to connect to the pension dashboard’s core architecture cost-effectively and securely. It is offering providers, schemes and third party administrators two connection options.
The first links a pension provider to the pensions dashboard central digital architecture — with the provider undertaking all other parts of the request fulfilment process. The second option is a full-service package, which also fulfils a citizen’s request for their pensions data, conforming to legislative obligations.
Hargreaves Lansdown will be using the full-service option.
Hargreaves Lansdown head of pensions and retirement Jack Williams says: “The Pensions Dashboard is an enormous opportunity to help people engage with their retirement by enabling them to see all their pensions in one place.
“It’s an ambitious project and it’s important to be well prepared. After considering all the options we believe partnering with Origo is the most efficient way for us to connect to the dashboard. We look forward to working with them over the coming months as we move towards our staging date.”
Origo CEO Anthony Rafferty adds: “Starting in August 2023 all pension providers will be compelled to connect to the ecosystem by law, going live in line with set staging dates. We built Origo Dashboard Connector using our expertise and experience in the market, with a clear objective to give providers options which will enable them to connect to the pensions dashboard in the way that best suits their business model.”
