PensionBee Pledges 1% Match on up to $1 Billion of Customer Assets
The company will contribute $10 million to match its customers’ next billion in assets, helping current and future customers grow their retirement savings
NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (LON:PBEE), a leading retirement savings provider, today launched a to encourage Americans to consolidate old 401(k)s and IRAs left behind with former employers. The company is committing up to $10 million to the initiative, offering the match on every dollar invested in a PensionBee IRA.
The move addresses a critical issue facing the majority of Americans: the lack of a coherent retirement savings plan. Over a trillion dollars in retirement wealth sit in –accounts left behind with former employers. These accounts can face additional and may change investments without the account holder's knowledge.
Small accounts can be automatically forced into , trapping savings for years in low-growth, cash-like investments. PensionBee’s 1% match program builds on its mission to help Americans get retirement savings under their control and invested in suitable long-term strategies.
“We are well aware that no one wakes up excited to consolidate their old retirement accounts,” said Romi Savova, Founder and CEO of PensionBee. “Rolling over old 401(k)s is a tedious and confusing process, and that’s exactly why PensionBee exists. We’ve eliminated pain points, and now we’re making it even easier for customers to take this important step for their future security.”
The company’s research reveals that over 40% of people who try to rescue a left-behind 401(k) give up mid-process, citing complexity, confusion, and lack of clear instructions. PensionBee’s model aims to remove these barriers. The company handles rollovers electronically and assigns each customer a dedicated U.S.-based account manager (a “BeeKeeper”) to manage the process via phone or online portal. The company offers free searches to help people locate forgotten accounts.
The new 1% match adds a financial incentive to PensionBee’s simplified experience1:
- Invest $10,000 in a PensionBee IRA and receive an extra $100
- Invest $100,000 in a PensionBee IRA and receive an extra $1,000
- Invest $500,000 in a PensionBee IRA and receive an extra $5,000
- Invest $2,000,000 in a PensionBee IRA and receive an extra $20,000
The 1% match applies to every rollover or contribution into a PensionBee IRA on the company’s next $1 billion in customer assets. The longer customers keep funds invested in the market, the greater the value of the match over time. Assuming a 6.15% annual return, illustrative projections over 5, 10, 20, and 30-year periods highlight the hypothetical long-term impact of the match.
