Check that you won’t lose any guarantees or safeguarded benefits if you transfer. This could include things like guaranteed annuity rates, guaranteed income or additional death benefits. Take a look at your current pension scheme to assess the fees you’re paying and whether any exit fees or penalties that your existing provider may charge should you choose to transfer. It’s also important to consider the investment options available to you. For more information on what you should know about your existing pensions before you transfer, please read our key considerations page.

No, you won’t. When transferring your old pensions to Moneyfarm, our team will contact your providers on your behalf and set up the transfer for you. All you’ll need to do is complete the transfer form (once you open a Moneyfarm SIPP portfolio) and provide us with a few details about your old pensions: name of provider, your personal identifier (i.e. account number, policy number), and the amount you are looking to transfer (full or partial).

Pension transfer times can vary significantly, typically ranging from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. The duration depends on several factors including your current provider’s processes, the type of pension scheme, and whether automated or paper-based systems are used.

Some providers, including Moneyfarm, use an automated platform called Origo, which can speed up transfers by eliminating paperwork. However, many providers still rely on paper forms, which can extend the process. Regardless of the method, both Moneyfarm and your current provider must conduct due diligence checks, which can affect the overall transfer time. Our team will keep you informed throughout the process and address any issues that arise.

You can transfer money from your other pensions into your Moneyfarm Pension, including from SIPPs and workplace pension schemes. Your pension savings are initially transferred as cash, and then reinvested once the money arrives in your Moneyfarm Pension.
You are able to transfer your Defined Benefit pensions to us but due to guarantees you will need to seek financial advice from an advisor to sign off the transfer. We do not offer this advice internally. If you are taking an income already, we would be unable to accept the transfer.

Whether you’ve had multiple jobs, are self-employed or are simply unsatisfied with your current pension provider, you might want to consider transferring your old pensions.

Simply open a Moneyfarm SIPP and provide us with a few details about your old pensions.
We’ll then get in touch with your pension providers so that you don’t have to.
