Contribute as often as you like
Contribute as often as you like
Make contributions easily from your online account, which we call the BeeHive. Make an Easy bank transfer in just a few taps. Your money will be invested in the stock market and other assets, and managed by one of the world’s largest money managers.
A tax efficient way to save
A tax efficient way to save
Personal pensions are a tax-efficient way to save towards your retirement. Most basic rate taxpayers get a 25% tax top up; meaning HMRC usually adds £25 for every £100 you pay into your pension, which would bring the total contribution to £125.
Flexible retirement options
Flexible retirement options
From the age of 55 (57 from 2028), you can choose how to withdraw money from your private pension. Draw down a set amount each month, take out a lump sum (up to 25% tax free), buy an annuity, or do a combination of these options. Your personal pension’s as flexible as you are.
