Pension Choices Plan

Your Pension Choices Plan is designed to help you save towards your retirement. It offers a choice of investment options and flexibility to withdraw funds in retirement, as lump sums or as a regular income.

This plan is now closed to new customers.

We recommend you get financial advice to help you make decisions about your pension savings and your retirement options. The value of your investment can go down as well as up, and you may not get back what you put in.
