Our take
Having the financial stability to retire is something that plays on the minds of every employee around the world, a problem that is often managed through pension plans. However, existing pension providers generally follow a "one size fits all" approach, preventing room for plans customised for businesses and for multiple countries of residence.
Smart Pension provides pension plans for businesses and organisations, currently offering plans for the UK, 401(k) and retirement plans for the USA, in addition to savings and retirement plans for Ireland, Australia, and Dubai. The company provides a retirement platform named Keystone to governments, enterprises, and financial institutions, focussing heavily on a flexible and bespoke approach to retirement plans.
Whilst pension plans are accessible to most organisations, Smart Pension recognises how unified and single-country approaches are not sufficiently flexible for modern enterprises. By providing a custom pension creation platform and plans for retirement and savings for a range of countries, the company aims to provide a modern solution for the pensions of international corporations which are specifically designed for their business.
