Intersolve introduced Adaptive Pension, a spending solution for money-purchase pensions that mimics the results of defined benefit plans. Using its contingent spending technology, the product adjusts income based on market performance, promising a smoother drawdown experience and potential returns that are 25% higher than those of insured annuities. The platform also allows instant, tax-aware withdrawals and greater control over retirement income.
Meanwhile, PensionPay is rolling out a Visa-branded card and a white-label digital wallet, enabling providers to integrate seamless, secure, and fast pension transactions via Visa’s global network.
"XPS Catalyst has been specially designed to resolve this by putting the right people and processes in place to get schemes out to market quickly," said XPS partner, Steve Morris.
