Global member intelligence
One global view. Thousands of changing lives.

Beyond traditional tracing
Search should follow people – not addresses.
Traditional tracing often stops at UK credit and registry data. Heka uses global, identity-led discovery to resolve the person, corroborate the evidence and return a usable member record.

“These were missing members for whom we held very little data, yet Heka was able to confirm their identities and provide us with results we could trust and verify. Their approach reduces risk for trustees and gives us real confidence in member outcomes. The team is responsive, professional, and clearly committed to helping schemes meet their obligations.”
Andrew KerrinProfessional Trustee – Dalriada
“The trustee wants to pay all members the right benefits, so it was important to explore different avenues to try and find these missing members. Heka has helped us do this quickly and effectively. From our perspective, it is really important that Heka is able to find missing members regardless of whether or not they are based in the UK.”
Doug RossMNRPF Trustee Chair – MNRPF
“Dalriada has welcomed the work done by Heka to date, which has enabled us to get in contact with some members we were previously unable to. The techniques employed by Heka are innovative and this has seen positive results where other, more traditional member tracing options have failed.”
Sean BowesProfessional Trustee – Dalriada
“Reuniting members with their full retirement benefits is a core fiduciary duty. We’re excited to see the results of this initiative as part of our commitment to helping clients solve the issue of lost pensions.”
