PensionPay

“Can a white-label card, app and FSCS-eligible deposit account on top of pension payouts capture the twenty-year post-retirement customer relationship that UK pension providers currently lose at decumulation?”

The story

PensionPay was incorporated in April 2024 and launched publicly in July 2025 as retirement-income infrastructure for UK pension providers and insurers. The product combines a branded (white-label) card, app and interest-bearing deposit account that pensions pay into by default — annuity, drawdown or lump sum — with the deposit licence sitting with a regulated UK banking partner so balances are FSCS-eligible. The company positions itself as the layer that captures the twenty-year post-retirement relationship that pension providers historically lose at the decumulation decision point.
