Mantle partners with Modulr to transform pension payroll and enhance member experience
London, 13th November, 2025:
Modulr, the leading embedded payments platform, has partnered with Mantle, a global pensions software provider and market leader in actuarial and pension administration software to provide seamless payments functionality to the pensions market.
This collaboration marks a major milestone in the automation of pension payroll, delivering a fully integrated solution that simplifies payment execution and addresses key pain points for pension administrators.
Pension payroll is traditionally reliant on manual file uploads, disjointed processes and multiple approval actions across different systems. Mantle’s enhanced offering, powered by Modulr, introduces a new embedded payments capability directly into Mantle’s platform, supporting third-party administrators and pension trust administration teams to execute payroll with speed, accuracy, and confidence, without leaving the Mantle environment.
Solving Long-Standing Challenges in Pension Administration
The Modulr–Mantle integration directly addresses the long-standing challenges of fragmented systems and numerous manual interventions in pension payroll. It automates payout workflows from a single platform, eliminating the need for manual file uploads and freeing teams to focus on higher-value tasks. As part of the MantlePay offering, Mantle clients will be able to access the Confirmation of Payee service, which adds an increasingly critical layer of fraud protection, ensuring funds are sent to the correct recipient. With Faster Payments embedded as standard, the solution also enables payroll cut-off times to be extended by days, enhancing operational flexibility and the ability to meet the needs of vulnerable customers without compromising on speed or compliance.Danielle Wilson, Chief Commercial Officer at Mantle, said:
"We’re delighted to partner with Modulr to enhance our pension payroll capabilities. By integrating Modulr's payment services with our existing functionality, we're streamlining previously complex processes. This new functionality enables our clients to execute payments directly through Mantle using Faster Payments, ensuring pensioners receive their funds quickly and efficiently. It's a significant step forward to simplify pension scheme administration and deliver better service to our clients’ members."
Melek Pirgon, Chief Product Officer at Modulr, added:
“Modulr’s expanding network of integrations across payroll, accounting and travel addresses long-standing challenges in business payments. Our partnership with Mantle marks our expansion into the pensions sector. Leveraging Modulr’s secure and scalable platform, pension trust administrators can now automate their payment workflows, saving them time and eliminating fragmented, manual processes”.
