The register of stakeholder pension schemes

Who can use the register?

Individuals - can use the register to check that a scheme you are thinking about joining is registered as a stakeholder pension scheme. This means that the scheme has given an undertaking that it meets the stakeholder conditions on charges, access and the way that the scheme is run.

Employers - before designating (formally choosing) a stakeholder pension scheme and offering it to your employees, you should first check that it is listed on the Pensions Regulator register.

If you need to designate a stakeholder pension scheme and have not yet done so, you can use this register to identify a scheme or schemes and their contact details. NB employers are required by law to provide their employees with access to a stakeholder pension scheme - unless they meet the exemption criteria. Read the section on Employers and stakeholder pension schemes for more details.
