PensionBee Pledges 1% Match on up to $1 Billion of Customer Assets

PensionBee is contributing $10 million to match customers’ next billion in assets, supporting both current and future savers in growing their retirement funds.

PensionBee has launched a 1% match program 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 orphaned 401(k)s–accounts left behind with former employers. These accounts can face additional non-employee fees and may change investments without the account holder's knowledge.

Small accounts can be automatically forced into Safe Harbor IRAs, trapping savings for years in low-growth, cash-like investments. PensionBee’s 1% match program builds on our 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.”

PensionBee 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 a simplified experience:

  • 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.

$2,000,000 account → $20,000 match $26,950 $36,330 $65,980 $119,850

*Assumes an annual return of 6.15% (7% minus a 0.85% annual fee), no additional voluntary contributions, and annual compounding. Dollar amounts rounded to the nearest ten. For illustrative purposes only; figures are not adjusted for inflation. Actual results will vary.

“Your retirement savings should be under your control and in investments that match your timeline and risk tolerance,” Savova added. “Every year these accounts sit scattered is a year of lost opportunity. We’re excited to offer our customers an extra reason to prioritize their future."
