The Money and Pensions Service has set up a pensions dashboard steering group, which will focus on the practicalities of how consumers can access this technology.
Ten people have been appointed to this group, included representatives from trade bodies, insurers, consumer group, fin tech companies and independent consultants.
This new steering group will support the work of the Industry Delivery Group (IDG), which has been established within the Money and Pensions Service to take forward the creation of the technology that will enable dashboards.
Members of this steering group include: Andrew Lowe, change and data solutions director at the Institute of Faculty of Actuaries, Paddy Greene, head of money and consumer rights policy at Which?, Francis Goss, chief commercial officer at AHC, Nigel Peaple, director of policy and research at the Pension and Lifetime Savings Association, Romi Savova, chief executive of PensionBee, Samantha Seaton chief executive of Moneyhub and Yvonne Braun, director of policy long term savings and protection at the ABI.
The IDG principal Chris Curry will chair the steering group, and Angela Pober, implementation director of the IDG will also be a member.
Following the first steering group meeting in October, the focus will be on setting out a roadmap for the delivery of the dashboards, providing strategic guidance on delivering the best customer experience for consumers, and determining what data the pensions industry will need to provide for dashboards to be operational.
The Money and Pensions Service chair, Sir Hector Sants says: “It is vital that people are equipped with the tools and knowledge to engage with their pensions and plan for retirement. This group represents a great blend of the expertise needed to ensure the successful delivery of revolutionary pensions dashboards.”
