Leading provider of digital pensions Penfold has formally announced the launch of its next crowdfunding campaign, which is a noteworthy achievement given its remarkable run of growth.

With the support of this endeavor, Penfold has successfully raised £1.5 million from its principal owners, bringing its total investment to an astounding £19 million. The action demonstrates Penfold's dedication to growing its portfolio of cutting-edge pension plans and enhancing its position in the industry.

 


In 2023, Penfold had a treble expansion in its clientele to over 1,200 firms and a sharp rise in individual saves to over 62,000. This was a historic year for the company. This quick rise was accompanied by a significant 151% increase, resulting in £350 million in assets under administration. It is clear that Penfold's strategic focus on growing its workplace pension solution has paid off, demonstrating the company's adaptability and progressive mindset in the fast-paced FinTech industry.

 

Penfold has launched its most recent crowdfunding campaign in an attempt to accelerate its growth and set the company up for success. Individual registrations are being accepted for the early access phase through Penfold's crowdfunding page. The round will open to the general public on February 27. Considering how well Penfold's previous crowdfund in 2022 went—it sold out in a matter of hours—the company expects the investment community to respond favorably.

 

The goal of revolutionizing the £8 trillion pensions sector lies at the core of Penfold's mission. Penfold wants to improve savers' interaction with their pensions by providing a customized platform that gives them more visibility and control over their assets and savings. Together with great service, this customer-focused strategy has been essential to Penfold's quick rise in the FinTech industry.

 

Penfold has continuously expanded its scope since its founding in 2019, most notably with the launch of the Penfold Platform in 2023. This platform, designed with accountants in mind, streamlines pension administration and further demonstrates Penfold's commitment to innovation and user experience. The continuous crowdfunding campaign is not just a way to support expansion but also an indication of Penfold's commitment to enhancing its products, which include its well-liked workplace pension solution and app upgrades.

 

Penfold Co-Founder Chris Eastwood stressed the significance of this crowdfunding round in maintaining the business's growing momentum and turning a profit. Eastwood's statement: "By offering a straightforward method to access and save into their pension, we hope to inspire more people to save for the future." We have seen such remarkable growth recently because more savers desire a pension that they can use and comprehend with ease.

 

"We will be able to sustain this growth and raise the necessary funds to bring the Penfold team back to profitability with the help of this most recent round of crowdfunding." We have an amazing community of involved investors who support our mission to encourage people to save more so they may have the retirement they deserve. Our previous crowdfunding round was a big success.
