Looking to purchase an annuity within six months

If you're looking to buy an annuity within the next six months, now is the time to consider the choices available to you.

If you are an existing Prudential pension customer

Converting your Prudential pension into an annuity is a simple process. Our dedicated annuities team can help you every step of the way. You may also be able to transfer any pensions you have with other providers to Prudential and buy one larger annuity. This could allow you to buy a With-Profits annuity, which provides the potential for your income to grow over the long-term (although your income can go down as well as up).

If your pension is with another provider

We'd welcome your call to discuss your options such as identifying the best ways to combat the effects of inflation on your spending power. And did you know you can combine two or more pension funds to increase the options available to you?

For more information or to chat through your options, please call our dedicated annuities team on
0800 012 1179* (please quote ECOM).
