Kota partners with Smart Pension

LONDON – Kota, the all-in-one platform to automate health insurance and retirement benefits for growing teams, today announced it is working with Smart Pension, one of the UK’s leading workplace pension providers, to enable companies and their UK-based employees to easily administer and enrol in a workplace pension.

The partnership utilises both companies’ powerful APIs to provide international employers with an effortless, modern and digital way to set up and manage a workplace pension for their UK-based employees that’s compliant with UK auto-enrolment law. Meaning that no matter where the company is based, even if they don’t have a UK bank account, they can provide their UK-based employees with comprehensive employee benefits.

Kota provides employers with one easy-to-manage dashboard that removes the headache of understanding different countries’ retirement legislation, that’s scalable and affordable to support firms of all sizes and growth ambitions. For employees, their benefits are available to access and control with the Kota app.

Luke Mackey, Co-Founder and CEO. "We're delighted to announce our partnership with Smart Pension. After the success of our workplace pension partnership in Ireland, we were keen to support UK-based employees quickly, and Smart Pension is the perfect fit for us. Their digital-first and infrastructure-first approach to pensions aligned with our core values. I'm excited that Yonder is integrating the highest-quality providers to expand its presence in local markets."

Chris Glanton, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Smart Pension, said. “At Smart Pension, we’ve always put employers and members first, so we were very excited at the opportunity to work with another fintech disruptor focussed on the employee benefits market. Making retirement accessible is a priority for us; this partnership and technology integration really supports this. Our pension platform supports SMEs to those with tens of thousands of employees, so it’s perfect to support the range of clients Yonder has.”
