What is i-Connect?

i-Connect is a secure platform which automates the submission of pension data from your payroll system to the Pension Fund each month.

Member information moves from your payroll system and updates directly to the Surrey Pension Fund’s record system via a secure platform, and will automatically identify all starters, leavers, and changes to member details.

This avoids the need for a year-end Annual Return from you as records will be updated via i-Connect on a monthly basis.

The Benefits of i-Connect

i-Connect will provide significant benefits to you, your members, and the Surrey Pension Fund, including:

  • Secure data transmission
  • Accurate data submissions
  • Fewer data error investigations
  • No need for year-end Annual Returns
  • Reducing the need for submission of data via individual forms or spreadsheets
  • Reducing the time spent on pensions administration

The Support We Will Provide

Our aim is that all our employers will be using i-Connect for most individual data submissions at some point. We have successfully gone live with the main Surrey Payroll Team at the beginning of this year. Therefore, the team will be in a good position to roll this out to all employers, hopefully in the near future.

We will contact you to determine a suitable transition date sometime in the future. We will also provide support for your move to i-Connect via training workshops, meetings, and our dedicated project team.
