Barnett Waddingham has connected its first client to the pensions dashboards ecosystem using its chosen provider, Equisoft.
The firm said the connection was made in line with the official timetable and that nearly 200 more clients are due to connect before the 31 October 2026 deadline.
Barnett Waddingham pension administration principal Heather Peters says: “We’re delighted to have made this critical first connection to the Pensions Dashboards ecosystem. The focus for the project for the next 17 months will remain on ensuring our in-scope clients continue to connect successfully, with data securely held and ready to be available to members at the Dashboard Available Point.
“This is a significant milestone made possible by an excellent project team and governance structure here at BW, alongside regular collaboration with our ISP, Equisoft and The Pensions Regulator (TPR) to keep our journey on track.”
