Questions we're often asked

  • We’ll get in touch with your other providers and ask them to transfer your pensions to us. We’ll keep in touch while this is happening to let you know how it’s going.

    If your other provider uses the same transfer service as us, it usually takes about six weeks. If not, we’ll let you know so you can ask your other providers for a manual transfer form. This process can take longer.

  • You can transfer most pensions to us online, but not all. Common reasons we can’t accept a pension include:

    • It has benefits which may be valuable. If you transfer, you’d give these up
    • It’s with an overseas provider
    • You only want to transfer part of your pension
    • You’re taking an income from the pension
    • It’s a final salary pension
    • An employer is currently paying into your pension
    • It’s been divided up as part of a divorce.
