Alexa, How Much Has Your Pension Hidden in Your Echo?
Smart Pension just dropped a new hands‑free feature that lets you ask your Echo to show you how much you’ve stashed for retirement—and tweak that “I’m happy saving… but not too much” percentage on the fly.
Meet Smart Pension: The Modern-Day Money Whisperer
Think of Smart Pension as the dash‑board of your future, but with a voice‑assistant twist. It’s the first pension provider that actually brings a bit of Alexa tech to your home.
What Your Echo Can Do for Your Pension
- Ask for a quick snapshot: “What’s my summary?”
- Get the nitty‑gritty investment report: “What’s my investment report?”
- Crunch the numbers: “How much am I paying into my pension?”
- Make a change: “Update my contribution percentage to 7 %.”
- Just one sentence and your boss? and your accounting team? All get notified by email.
And if you change your contribution percentage, you can reverse it just as easily. Talk about hassle‑free!
Why This Tech Is a Big Deal
”The pensions industry is a dinosaur,” says Will Wynne, co‑founder and Managing Director. “We need to catch up with the banks and the whole tech ecosystem.” With this Alexa skill, pensively listening to your quarterly performance as you unload the dishwasher or drive home, you’ll actually care about your future.
It’s Not Just About the Echo
Australia has been doing fine with apps that let you consolidate Superannuation pots from multiple jobs. In the UK, the “quick‑look” is still a long way from being as tidy as your online banking. But Smart Pension already planned for that future.
Will Wynne adds:
“This is the future. Open banking and a government pension dashboard will make it all seamless and secure. It’s the day we start handing our members the information revolution, all in one click.”
Feel the Pulse, Get the Numbers
Some providers shy away from these innovations because of the extra scrutiny. Smart Pension, however, thrives on transparency and reduced fees. As it’s rookie in the UK, capping the future from fraud to borrowing will be a big step forward.
