Why combine your pensions?

Coins

Keep it simple

It can be hard to keep track of different pensions. Having your pension savings in one place makes it easier for you to manage.

Track your goals more easily

It can be easier to see how much you've saved for retirement, and if you're on track for your goals.

Plan charges

Different plans have different charges. Moving to a plan with lower charges could save you money.

Things to look out for before transferring

Here are a few things to consider before deciding on whether to transfer your pensions:

Valuable features and benefits

You should check your existing plan for benefits like a Guaranteed Annuity Rate, loyalty bonuses or protected tax free cash. They could be lost if you transfer.

Compare your charges

On your existing plan(s) and your Royal London plan.

No guarantee of a bigger pot

Combining your pensions doesn't mean you'll necessarily get a higher income or bigger pension pot.

Transferring your pensions into one plan may not be right for you. You can get more information from MoneyHelper and if you're unsure you should speak to a financial adviser.

For more information on the things to consider before transferring, you can read our guide - 'Should I transfer my pension: Three things to think about'.
