Revolutionizing Retirement in Ghana: The Vision of Frontline Pensions Trust Ltd
Retirement marks the culmination of years of hard work, a time to enjoy the fruits of one’s labour. Yet, for many informal workers in Ghana, achieving a dignified and financially secure retirement remains a challenge. Frontline Pensions Trust Ltd (FPT), established in 2021, is here to change that narrative.
With a commitment to driving financial inclusion and leveraging innovative technology, FPT is poised to revolutionize retirement savings for Ghana’s workforce—especially the informal sector—empowering individuals to take control of their financial futures.
The Challenge: Informal Workers and Retirement Planning
The informal sector constitutes a significant portion of Ghana’s economy, yet its workers often lack access to structured retirement plans. Unlike their counterparts in formal employment, informal workers face challenges such as irregular income and limited financial literacy, leaving many vulnerable in their later years.
FPT recognizes these unique needs and has stepped in with tailored solutions that make saving for retirement not only possible but simple and secure.
