Online illustrative transfer values
Put your members in control with immediate access to illustrative transfer values
Defined benefit (DB) pension scheme members have a range of options when it comes to taking their benefits. This means that members often seek detailed information about the value of their benefits, which can be a complex process.
Our online illustrative transfer values, available through Buck’s bEngaged portal, give scheme members instant access to the value of their benefits. This not only reduces your costs but enhances their user experience, delivering an efficient and effective solution for both you and your members.
- Proactive member support to help them make the right choices for their DB benefits
- Instant access and display of results
- Values updated in accordance with scheme rules (monthly, quarterly, etc.)
What sets us apart
Cost effective
Typically, industry processes have been either manual (meaning each calculation is performed by actuaries), or complex and expensive to automate. Our online illustrative transfer value solution changes this, offering calculation and delivery options that reduce the overall cost of providing these services to your members.
Flexibility for members
Once our online illustrative transfer value solution has been launched, your members will be able to change their address and upload Expression of Wish forms directly to our portal, helping them take more ownership of their pension management.
On-demand access
Pension scheme members can instantly access the value of their benefits online through our bEngaged member portal, as opposed to waiting up to three months for manual calculations to be completed and sent by post.
Increased member engagement
The decisions a pension scheme member makes at retirement are some of the most significant they’ll make in their lifetime. We know the difference that can be made to people’s lives when they truly understand and take an active role in structuring their retirement plan. Our solution provides members with information and tools to best help them make more informed choices.
