Welcome to NEST

It was great to see you at the Great British Business Show. We really enjoyed being out and about to meet so many employers and spread the message about NEST.

Here you can find out more about us and see why NEST is a great choice for auto enrolment.

More about us

NEST is a new workplace pension scheme that’s been set up by the government especially for auto enrolment. We’re here to make sure that every employer has access to a workplace pension scheme that meets the requirements of the new pension rules.

Over 14,500 employers have already chosen us, ranging from the largest to the smallest organisations in the UK. That means we’re currently helping over two million workers save for the future.

Why choose NEST?

  • Online and easy to use – whether you’re an employer or a member saving with NEST all the day-to-day tasks involved with pensions can be managed from your online account.
  • Built specifically for auto enrolment – we’ve created NEST around the requirements of the new legislation so that employers can be confident they’re fully compliant when they choose us.
  • Free for employers – NEST is free for employers to use. Members pay a 0.3 per cent annual management charge on their retirement pot and a 1.8 per cent charge on contributions.
  • Innovative investment – NEST Retirement Date Funds have been recognised by the industry for their high-quality and sophisticated approach to protecting and growing members’ money.
  • Flexible administration – employers can manage NEST themselves or outsource some or all of the administration to a third party using NEST Connect.
