What’s changed and why

The look and feel

Firstly, you’ll notice the website looks different than before. We hope the fresh, modern design will make it clearer and easier for you to scroll your website; whichever device you visit us on.

More importantly, we hope the new menu, layout and links will make it easier for you to find the information that’s relevant for you, at any stage of the saving journey.

The website has been tested and is fully compatible with all accessibility requirements, but if you do have any concerns or issues, just drop us a line at railpencommunications@railpen.com.

The content

The information on the site has been written with your needs in mind. We've cut out jargon and listened to feedback provided by members - making the information as clear, accurate and relevant as possible to you.

Finding the information you need

The pension essentials area covers many of the pension topics we know are most important to you and is designed for all members to use.

We have broken the in the Fund area down into a few separate sub-areas covering information for members of the three Sections of the Fund – 1970, 2007 and CARE. If you’re not sure which type of member you are, you can find out by logging in to your myFund account and checking the dashboard or your Membership Details page.

There are also dedicated pages on planning for retirement and saving more in the Fund, and for members who are already receiving their pension.

In the knowledge hub, you’ll find loads of handy resources, including the Read as You Need guides, video library, Retirement Budgeting Calculator, forms, newsletter and news articles. We’ve also added some new information on the Fund’s investments and Trustee.

And, of course, your homepage has had a revamp too. We’ve added some quick links to the places we know members often want to go, and you can still find the latest news on the homepage.

We’ve revised all the information on the site to make it as clear, accurate and relevant as possible.

Using your myFund account

Your myFund account hasn't changed. You don’t need to re-register and there are no changes to the logging in process.

You can still log in as normal via this website, and using the below links:

• Register for a myFund account
• Log into your myFund account
