It is “vital” for the industry to share its views on pension dashboard design standards ahead of the consultation deadline, Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) principal, Chris Curry, has stated.

Ahead of the consultation’s closure on the 16 February, Curry stated that it is “vital” for the pensions industry to share its views on the design standards. “We really want to hear from a broad range of voices,” Curry commented. He also thanked those who had responded to the consultation so far and took part in PDP’s webinar in December 2022, continuing: “All this feedback will help us to shape the user journey and how pensions information is presented on dashboards. We will make a success of dashboards if government, industry and regulators work closely together."
