UCRSS Mercer Money – reminder for members
As a member of the Universities & Colleges Retirement Savings Scheme you have access to a new pension and financial wellness platform called Mercer Money.
The website and member portal app are the new gateway for members to engage with their pension.
They provide tools to support your all-round financial wellbeing and allow you to bring together all your accounts (including debit and credit cards, savings, investments, mortgages, loans and pensions) and create a 360-degree view of your financial health.
If you haven’t got round to activating your Mercer Money account, why not do it now?
Here are a few of the features you’ll find in the app to help you feel in control of your money.
– Current value details of your Mercer Master Trust workplace pension in the Mercer Master Trust.
– A retirement calculator to let you create forecasts of the value of your retirement savings at different retirement ages.
– Direct access to your Mercer Master Trust workplace pension, administered by Aviva, with no need to login.
– All your finances in one place when you securely connect current, savings and credit card accounts, as well as pensions and investments.
– Spending analysis tool to show how much you’re spending and where.
– Budget setting, with nudges to help you stay on track.
A member who recently started using the Mercer Money app said:
“I managed to get on no problem, I’d just never got round to activating the account before. I followed the instructions, and it worked straight away and now I have the app on my phone. It’s really and great to use. Thank you!”
