PensionBee is a fast-growing UK fintech on a mission to simplify pensions. As headcount doubled and the company expanded internationally, its lean IT team was drowning in manual onboarding, audit prep, and vendor research. Remitech became the trusted partner that helped them build a modern, automated IT and security function, and keep it running as they grew.
