iPensions Group is delighted to announce its successful integration with the Origo Dashboard Connector (ODC) as part of the UK Pensions Dashboard Programme (PDP).
Completed ahead of schedule, the integration reinforces iPensions Group’s compliance and technological readiness, strengthening its position as a digital-first leader in the pensions industry. Connecting its pension schemes to the Pensions Dashboard was a vital step in meeting regulatory obligations and supporting greater transparency in pensions. The dashboard will empower UK consumers by giving them a secure, single view of all their pension information, helping them make informed decisions about their retirement planning.
Utilising a custom-built internal platform that eliminates the challenges posed by data silos, iPensions Group’s platform enabled complex pension calculations and the provision of Estimated Retirement Income (ERI), all in compliance with technical data standards. The connection with Origo Dashboard Connector was a smooth technical project, backed by the long-standing collaboration and mutual expertise. With Origo having already confirmed ODC operational acceptance with PDP, the connection process to the ecosystem for iPensions Group took just a few days to complete.
Hrishi Kulkarni, Chief Technology Officer at iPensions Group commented, “Technology is facilitating our compliance with regulatory requirements and enhancing operational efficiencies throughout the company. Leveraging our expertise and our relationship with Origo, we were able to swiftly adapt to the dashboard’s data requirements. “Our readiness reflects a long-term vision,” said Hrishi Kulkarni. “Over the past 7–8 years, we have worked diligently to break down data silos, enhance data quality, and ensure our platform can handle complex pension calculations. Today, we are proud to say that our in-house, fully owned, and developed pension platform is fully integrated with PDP standards.”
Origo shared its thoughts on the collaboration. Anthony Rafferty, CEO of Origo, comments: “It has been a pleasure working with iPensions Group and helping the company achieve its ‘connect by’ date. To be among the very first providers to connect is a fantastic achievement. It really showcases that it is possible for connection to occur quickly and smoothly. “Origo is proud to have facilitated the connection and we’re looking forward to connecting more providers in the near future so millions of individuals will be able to benefit from the dashboards once they go live.”
iPensions Group looks forward to continuing its journey of excellence and innovation in the pensions sector, ensuring the best possible outcomes for all stakeholders involved.
