Pensions are a long-term investment. The retirement benefits you receive from your pension account will depend on a number of factors including the value of your account when you decide to take your benefits which isn't guaranteed, and can go down as well as up. The value of your account could fall below the amount paid in.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.
We don't provide advice so if you are in any doubt about making your own investment decisions we recommend you seek advice from a suitably qualified financial adviser. There will normally be a charge for that advice.

Transferring a SIPP pension

If you’d like to switch your pension to IWeb there are a number of things you’ll need to consider before starting the transfer.

  • Not all pensions are transferable - please contact your current provider first to find out if you’re able to transfer.
  • Transfer and exit fees - a transfer will cost £60 per pension (up to a maximum of £300). Your existing pension provider may also charge.
  • You may lose out on potential pension benefits with your current provider if you choose to transfer out.
  • Costs vary between pension providers so it’s important to familiarise yourself with these differences.

Frequently asked questions about transferring

  • Simple transfers usually take 5 weeks to complete but complex transfers may take longer.

  • If you’re transferring funds to us from another broker we might hold a different fund class than the one you hold now. This means we may need to convert your fund into a class that can be transferred, which may be more expensive or could be cheaper. We do this to make sure your fund does not have to be sold as part of the transfer. Once the transfer is complete, we’ll make sure that you hold the cheapest fund class we have available for investment.

    1. Complete our certificate transfer form (PDF, 47KB) and a Crest transfer form (PDF, 39KB).
