Ben Pollard features on Searching for Mana with Lloyd Wahed of The Fintech Times
Our Founder & CEO, Ben Pollard, recently spoke to The Fintech Times about his vision for Cushon.
After starting his career as an actuary, Ben was compelled to start Cushon after a difficult experience setting up an ISA. In the podcast, he talks to Lloyd Wahed about Cushon’s achievements so far, attracting 87,000 customers, securing over £300m AUM, how we are bringing innovation to workplace savings, and the recent launch of our net zero now pension proposition.
Ben is incredibly passionate about tacking the climate emergency and bringing the issues involved in pensions investments to light. In the podcast, he shares more about what motivates him to champion this, and why he is calling on employees to lobby their employers to join the Cushon pension scheme and become net zero now – not in 20-30 years time as other providers have promised.
Ben also talks about his mission to shake up the savings and pensions sector and offers an insight into his family life and how he maintains a good work-life balance.
