In the latest episode of the Aptia Pensions Administration Pod, we turn our attention to Pension Dashboards. With only eight months to go until the legal deadline for connection to the pensions dashboard ecosystems, it’s a good time to take stock in terms of progress being made and work still to be done. 

Aptia has now connected over 100 schemes - around 500,000 members - using our own direct‑to‑dashboard technical solution. Across the industry, more than 60 million pension records are already connected, with three‑quarters of all memberships now in scope. 

As the focus shifts to medium and smaller schemes, both Aptia and PDP stress that preparation must continue. Connection is mandatory unless a buyout is certain, and schemes must ensure clean data, valuation capability and turnaround processes. Looking ahead, private‑sector dashboards continue to attract strong interest, while PDP refines standards, guidance, and consumer‑testing ahead of MoneyHelper’s launch. 

Connection is only the first milestone; ongoing data quality, BAU processes, and readiness for member demand will define long‑term success.
