I'm getting an error saying 'your details don't match'
There are a few of reasons why you may get shown this message.
Firstly, please double check that your plan number is correct.

I cannot see my plan value / ‘error showing- sorry we are unable to produce a plan value online’
Firstly, please rest assured that your funds are safe and the reason for the reduced visibility of the value is likely to be due to one of the following reasons:
- If a recent payment or contribution has been made but the money is in the process of being allocated.
- If you've transferred money into your Royal London pension plan but the money is still in the process of being allocated.
- There could be essential maintenance work taking place, there should be communications to let you know that this is the case.
If you've not moved any money to your Royal London account please do contact our Web Support team on:
- email: eface@royallondon.com
- telephone: 0345 605 0401.
