FAQs:
*Why should I consolidate my pensions with PensionBee?*
With PensionBee, you can easily manage your pension online and take control of your retirement plan. You can see your current pot size, your projected retirement income, and set up regular or one-off contributions in just a few taps. As soon as you reach the age of 55 (57 from 2028) you can also start making pension withdrawals or purchase a pension annuity. Your personal BeeKeeper can help you with anything you need and our pension calculator can tell you whether you’re on track to meet your retirement goal.
*How much does investing with PensionBee cost and how does this compare to other providers?*
We don’t charge you any fees to transfer your pensions. There is just an annual management fee, which is automatically deducted from your pension on a daily basis. For pensions under £100,000 you’ll pay one annual fee of 0.5 - 0.95%, depending on your chosen plan. If your pot size is larger than £100,000 we’ll halve the fee on the portion of your savings over this amount.
*Can PensionBee trace my pension for me?*
While we’ll do everything we can to help you transfer your pensions, we can’t trace an old pension without any details. If you don’t have the policy number to hand, we’ll need you to tell us who your pension provider is. It can take up to 12 weeks to transfer your old pensions depending on the provider.
*Is there an exit fee to leave?*
There’s no exit fee if you leave at any point. There’s also a 30 day cancellation policy, which means we’ll return your pensions to your old providers free of charge - assuming they’re also willing to take them back.
We're always keen to hear your feedback on ways to improve things. If there’s anything you’d like to see in the app that isn’t already there, or any bugs you come across, please send your feedback to [email protected].
