Mantle Hosting Limited chooses Pension Fusion from Altus & ITM, as their Pensions Dashboards Integrated Service Provider (ISP)
Today, pensions administration software specialists Mantle Hosting, announces Pension Fusion as its preferred ISP for connection of its combined actuarial and administration platform Mantle to Pensions Dashboards. Mantle Hosting will not charge their pension scheme clients for connection or ongoing usage, stating “it’s just part of what we do”.
Financial services software specialist Altus and pensions data and platform technology specialist ITM, joined forces in 2021 to launch Pension Fusion, the industry’s first commercial Pensions Dashboards Integrated Service Provider solution (ISP), with an open-market connection to pensions dashboards. In April this year, the Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) confirmed Altus and ITM as the first Alpha testing participant to begin testing their connection, a key milestone in the PDP’s phased roll out of Pensions Dashboards, as set out in the DWP consultation, published on 31st of January 2022.
This announcement recognises the strong proposition Pension Fusion has in the marketplace and how it can be the cornerstone of a successful rollout of Pensions Dashboards for all pension providers.
Graeme Riddoch, Mantle Hosting Head of Proposition, said:
Altus is a long-standing and trusted partner of Mantle’s. Over the years we have been impressed with the people and the systems. When we learnt they were developing an ISP we were delighted, as this is an area best left to a business such as Altus with the capability and scale to meet the demands of the Dashboards ecosystem.
Working with Altus frees us up to concentrate on our own system and developments safe in the knowledge that Altus will deliver on their end.
Ben Cocks, Altus Director, said:
We’ve worked successfully with Mantle for many years helping schemes provide better services to members. This latest collaboration will cut through all the complexity of dashboard requirements for schemes and get them connected quickly and easily. We all want the dashboard up and running sooner rather than later and our work with Mantle is going to help that happen.
