clock • 1 min read

Smart is known for leading a revolution when it comes to building pension platforms. Built five years ago using modern approaches including cloud computing, group managing director Will Wynne describes Smart as offering its users an experience like what they may have with Netflix or Amazon.

"We want to transform pensions, savings and financial wellbeing across all generations, around the world."

For Smart, innovation is in its mission statement. Will Wynne alongside co-founder Andrew Evans had a simple idea: to make saving for retirement easier by using the latest technology. And by bringing financial expertise together with technology, the company has done this.

The group's tech-driven products have helped thousands of employers and employees to set up pension schemes and render data about their savings and retirement prospects in real time. From workplace and automatic enrolment to delivering bespoke technology for clients, Smart aims to revolutionise the pensions marketplace and help build a modern pensions experience for the employee, employer, and their advisers.
