Your questions about our mobile app answered.
Who can use the mobile app?
Our mobile app is designed for existing Royal London pension customers. So you can use our mobile app if you've had a pension plan with Royal London since 2004 (or previously Scottish Life).
Only some of our plans can be viewed on our mobile app. These are:
Personal pensions
- Pension Portfolio Plans
- Individual Stakeholder Pension Plans
- Individual Executive Pension Plans
Workplace pensions
Retirement Solutions plans which include:
- Group Personal Pension Plans (including continuation plans)
- Group Stakeholder Personal Pension Plans (including continuation plans)
- Company Pension Plans
- Individual Plans
If you’re invested in our With Profits fund (or have been invested in our With Profits fund in the past) you currently won’t be able to use the mobile app to view those plans.
If you have an older plan, or a SIPP, with us you can't view these on our app but you can still manage your plan online through our online service.
If you’re not sure if your plan can be viewed on our mobile app please get in touch and our teams are on hand to help.
How do I download the app?
You can download the app from the App Store (for Apple mobile devices) and the Google Play Store (for Android devices).
What security does the app have?
We’ve tested our mobile app extensively to make sure it’s secure, so you can use it with confidence.
The data used is encrypted to guarantee privacy. It also automatically logs you out if you’ve not interacted with the app for 5 minutes.
Our app also supports face and finger print recognition, also known as biometrics. So you can log in to the app using fingerprint or face recognition. This works across both iOS and Android devices but depends what type of phone you have.
What mobile phone do I need to download the app?
Our mobile app has been tested on a wide range of mobile phones, and we support the following operating systems:
- iOS 14 and above
- Android 8 and above
You can check on your phone if your operating system is within this range. If you’re using an earlier operating system, you’ll need to upgrade it to be able to download the app.
I’m having problems logging in to see my plan, why is this?
If you're having problems logging in to view your plan there are a couple of reason why that might be.
Your plan becomes accessible on our app once your first contribution has been made. If you have a new plan this might be why you cannot log in or register.
Our mobile app is only available for some plans. So it could be that your plan currently is not available via our mobile app. Take a look at the list of plans you can view on the app.
If you're still having problems please contact us on 0345 605 0401.
How do I reset my password?
If you can’t remember your password go to the login page in the app and select ‘Forgotten password?’, all you need to do is enter your email address and we’ll send you an email to reset your password.
Have your mobile phone handy as we'll send you a security passcode SMS this extra protection will help to ensure only you can reset your password.
If you're still experiencing issues you can contact our Web Support specialists who'll get you back online.
Please be aware, if you've entered your password incorrectly 3 times your account will be locked for 24 hours.
I can only see some of my plans, not all of them, why is this?
Currently our app only shows some of our plans. Take a look at the list of plans you can view on the app within the 'What plans can be viewed on the mobile app' section above.
I have a pension plan with my employer, can I see what they have contributed to my pension?
Regular contributions will be displayed shortly after they've been received by Royal London, and will be reflected in the app in the month that they have been paid to us.
Transfers will be displayed as soon as they're received and added to your plan by our customer service team.
I have a pension plan with my employer, and I want to make a one off contribution – can I use the app?
You can use the app to make a one-off contribution to your plan.
You can also use it to request a transfer pack and confirm you’ve received it (if you’re doing this without a financial adviser).
Can my employer or my adviser log in to my Royal London mobile app?
No – the mobile app can only be seen by you.
But don’t worry, your adviser or employer can view your pension savings in other ways.
What changes can I make to my plan in the app?
At the moment, you can add your beneficiaries through our mobile app.
For any changes to your investments you can change or update these using our online service, and if you need to make changes to your personal details, you simply need to contact us.
I have some questions about what I can see in the app, who should I speak to?
If any of your details are incorrect, or you don’t understand something in the app, you can contact us.
We won’t be able to give you financial advice, so if you have questions about your retirement goals, you should speak to an adviser. If you don't have an adviser, you can take a look at our guide to ‘Where to look for a financial adviser’.
