Keystone by Smart

For governments, large organisations and financial institutions

Through Keystone by Smart, we offer Platform as a Service (PaaS) and white-labelling for governments (national or regional), banks, pension providers, asset managers, trade associations and affinity groups. These are enterprise solutions, which can be completely customised for your business and your marketplace.

The Smart solution to the global retirement technology problem

Over a million hours of R&D have gone into developing Keystone by Smart, the first global, cloud-native, workplace retirement savings platform. We are now ‘live’ on four continents, helping over a million savers plan for retirement, and spend in retirement, in partnership with some of the best-known financial institutions
in the world.

The result? A single global retirement technology platform that allows financial services organisations and governments to deliver for the needs of their customers and their citizens and can be adapted to changes in legislation today or in
five years’ time.

It enables everything from apps and web-based tools for employers and employees to full data migrations, allowing our partners to move or consolidate hundreds of thousands of accounts with ease.

Watch our co-founders introduce Keystone below, or read their introductory announcement here.

“Keystone is a unique piece of technology: a platform capable of transforming the sleeping giant of the fintech world – the $62 trillion global retirement savings market. It’s an area where the entire industry is crying out for a modern technology platform, to deliver better outcomes for governments, financial services organisations and their customers and citizens around the world. With already more than a million savers on the platform today and a trajectory to support tens of millions of users in the near future, Keystone will be as transformative for pensions and retirement as Octopus Energy’s Kraken platform already has been for energy.”

Simon Rogerson, CEO and co-founder, Octopus Group

Let Smarts CTO Sam Barton take you on a tour of Keystone. He explains how the platform makes retirement management simple for employers, advisers and employees, and for the governments and financial services organisations supporting their needs.

Keystone achieves this through its interactive API, automated and scalable processes and compatibility with payroll software, Alexa and Google Home interfaces. This ultimately results in real-time control of retirement savings for our end users.
