NEST (National Employment Savings Trust)

PADA is responsible for designing and introducing the infrastructure for NEST (National Employment Savings Trust), the new name for the personal accounts scheme. NEST will be handed over to and run by a new trustee corporation called NEST Corporation.

NEST is being created to provide a low-cost, independent, workplace pension scheme that any employer can use. It aims to provide access to workplace pension saving to millions of people – typically those on low to middle incomes.
