First Briefing, May 2026 – Data (Use and Access Act)

We outline new requirements around data protection complaint-handling, arising from the Data (Use and Access) Act. We highlight what trustees need to know and how First Actuarial is enhancing its own complaint-handling process to support schemes.

First Actuarial case studies

BACB

At London-based British Arab Commercial Bank (BACB), there was an increasing focus on getting a better deal for members of the Defined Contribution (DC) Scheme. First Actuarial helped BACB move the Scheme to a master trust, delivering time and cost savings while improving the member experience.

Standard Group

Independent trustee ZEDRA approached First Actuarial to help take the Standard Group (UK) Pension Scheme through a £26m buy-in and wind-up. First Actuarial supported the Trustee throughout the process, with its end-to-end risk transfer service.

BSRIA

First Actuarial delivered a cost-effective new governance framework to meet the requirements of the general code of practice for the trustees of the BSRIA Pension Scheme.
