Pensions dashboards are ‘on track’ to meet the statutory connection deadline, with 85 per cent of workplace and personal pension records now connected to the dashboards ecosystem, the Money and Pensions Service (Maps) has revealed.

Its latest progress update report showed that over 70 million private pension records and 10s of millions of state pension records have been integrated.

The report stated that dashboards were on course to meet the 31 October 2026 connection deadline following “significant activity”, with almost 1,500 pension providers and schemes connected since April 2025.

Maps has also completed phase one of consumer testing of the MoneyHelper Pensions Dashboard, which is expected to launch in 2027/28.

Phase two of testing with consumers is now underway, with around 2,000 members of Maps’ consumer research panel having taken part and further recruitment ongoing.

The report also outlined the continuing work to enable private sector pensions dashboards, and the Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) will be launching a working group of organisations interested in operating or supporting a private sector dashboard.

“We are on track for a major pensions moment, where for the first time people will be able to see their share of the UK’s £3 trillion of pensions wealth in one place,” commented Pensions Minister, Torsten Bell.

"Pensions dashboards are a genuinely transformative tool for working people. For too long, savers have had little visibility of what they've built up over a lifetime of work – that changes with dashboards.

“We're building something that will help millions plan properly for retirement and with 85 percent of pension records connected is real, tangible progress.”

Maps CEO, Oliver Morley, added: “Thanks to the dedication and hard work of so many people in the pensions industry, government, regulators and more, we are making steady progress with pensions dashboards.

“It is exciting to see the positive experience enjoyed by people who have tested the MoneyHelper Pensions Dashboard, and the real difference it will make to tackling low engagement with pensions.

“By bringing together a person’s pensions information in one online and secure place, the dashboard will be a vital part of improving retirement outcomes for so many people across the UK.”
