Our Retirement Account

Our Retirement Account gives you the option to take charge of your pension and, up to once a month, access your hard earned savings. As long as you have the funds, you have the freedom to choose the amount you withdraw (minimum withdrawal is £500).

The Royal London Retirement Account has been created to offer you more control over your pension pot. We will continue to meet your retirement needs even though we no longer accept any contributions or new customers from 1 August 2020.

The Royal London Retirement Account at a glance

  • You can leave the value of your fund to your loved ones when you die. 
  • Getting hold of your cash is straightforward – just call us and tell us how much you’d like to withdraw. Withdrawals start from £500 and are taxed at your marginal rate. 
  • As your pension remains invested, it potentially can grow but as it is an investment, the value of your fund can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount you originally invested. 
  • You can still choose to take an annuity at any time.
