GlobalScape is our secure solution for sharing information, managed by the BANES IT department. The software allows Avon Pension Fund and employers to exchange data electronically and securely.

When to use GlobalScape

Use GlobalScape to securely transfer data such as:

  • TPR Queries and responses
  • Returning scheme documents
  • Member forms that can’t be uploaded to i-Connect

GlobalScape is for transferring data, not for storing it. All information on GlobalScape will be deleted every three months.
