All your pensions in one place

Combining your pensions with Penfold is easy, free of charge, and our expert pension transfer team will take care of the process.

If you already have details of an old pension, you can start a Penfold pension with a transfer.

Alternatively, use our Find My Pension tool to track down the details of existing workplace pension pots. Simply enter the name of your old employer and we'll do the rest.

It’s important to compare providers’ fees and any guaranteed benefits when deciding on whether to transfer, and be sure that the investments available are suitable for you. If your employer is paying into your pension currently, transferring that pot may mean you lose out on their contribution.

Save your way

Life is full of twists and turns. Penfold's private pension adjusts to all of them.

Adjust, top-up, or pause your contributions any time – instantly online or with our app.

Private pension savers receive a 25% government tax bonus on pension contributions. We'll automatically claim this and add it to your account.*

*Subject to annual allowance. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.

With investments, your capital is at risk. The value of your investment can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invest. This information should not be regarded as financial advice and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

*Subject to annual allowance. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.
