Starling Bank has linked its sole trader and self-employed accounts to the PensionBee offering so customers can set up a pension directly from their bank accounts.

PensionBee has been added to Starling's Business Marketplace where customers can link to third-party products and services.

PensionBee has been available to Starling personal customers since 2018.

The new integration is aimed at sole traders, including for people who have never had a pension before.

The pensions firm offers nine plans, each designed to suit different saving needs and priorities, for example, with their Tailored plan, money is moved into safer investments as you get older.

They also have the Future World plan, which invests money into companies that pledge to move to an environmentally-friendly economy.

“Connecting to PensionBee through the Starling app is simple and only takes a few minutes,” Starling said.

Both self-employed and personal customers have the option to combine existing pensions into one new online plan, managed by PensionBee.

Once a Starling account and PensionBee account have been linked, customers are able to check their pension balance from the Starling app.

They'll see a list of previous transactions, outlining the value of recent contributions. There are no minimum contribution amounts with PensionBee.
