Why should I invest in NPS through PensionBox instead of directly or via another app?
Banks/POPs charges high fees on account opening & every investment
Even CRA apps have hidden charges/low transparency & lack timely support
Pension Funds restrict pension fund choice & selection to themselves.
That’s why, PensionBox brings transparency, zero charges, timely support and freedom to select any pension fund so that you get the best experience investing in NPS & be better future ready.
That’s not it, we help you & your company together to maximise contribution and tax savings with minimal charges & best user experience.
