First organisations complete connection to pensions dashboards

The Pensions Dashboards Programme has announced that the first three dashboard participants — Heywood, Pensions Fusion, and Legal and General — have now completed the connection journey to the pensions dashboards ecosystem. The three organisations have completed “Operational Acceptance Testing”, the final system checks which include the verification of backups, security, performance and user access before being ready to connect providers and schemes. 

This announcement came as Oliver Morley, CEO of the Money and Pensions Service, confirmed to MPs during an evidence session of the Work and Pensions Select Committee on March 5, 2025, that standards for pension providers and schemes have now been approved by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.
