WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE THEM

One connected benefits partner for employers, trustees and members

Clients choose Unio because they bring pension administration, actuarial consulting, investment advice, risk management, governance, health and wellbeing, and member communication together in one integrated model. Its platform-led approach helps employers reduce complexity, improve oversight and give members a clearer view of their pension, investment and risk benefits, while its Irish-based team provides local knowledge of pension legislation, funding challenges, data issues and member behaviour.

Employee benefits work best when employers, trustees and members can see the full picture. Our role is to bring the actuarial, administrative, investment and communication pieces together so clients can make confident decisions and members can better understand the value of their benefits.
