We'll get in touch with you
If you have a pension with Prudential, you’ll start to receive information packs from us as you get close to your 50th birthday, then every 5 years after until you reach your Selected Retirement Date. These will be issued around 4-10 weeks before each age milestone.
You’ll also receive a pack just before your chosen retirement age, whenever you request a quote or anytime you choose to take money out of your pension.

Just because you can access your savings from age 55, doesn’t mean you need to, but you should consider the options available to you and what suits your individual needs.
The age you can access your pension pot is to increase to age 57 from 2028, and will affect anyone aged 47 and under.
