The parcel-delivery company's couriers will be enrolled into the Smart Pension Master Trust from the end of 2022. Under the agreement, Evri's 'self-employed plus' couriers wll also be able to manage their savings beyond retirement using Smart Pension's 'Smart Retire' technology.

Curtis Bank has launched a suite of tools and calculators to help advisers tackle complex pension calculations.

Developed in conjunction with fintech firm Dunstan Thomas, a subsidiary of the Curtis Banks Group, the first three calculators are designed to assist advisers with the complex calculations relating to the annual allowance, salary sacrifice, and profit extraction.
The calculators can be edited to account for factors such as the client’s assumed income tax rate and their location in the UK for tax purposes.
