Simple ways to manage your pension online

From shopping and gaming to chatting with friends, people do a lot online these days. And you can keep track of your pension plan, too.

If you’re a Standard Life customer, depending on what type of plan you have, here are five actions you can take when managing your plan online or on our app:

1. You can update your important information – like your personal email address, home address and phone number; your beneficiaries; and your retirement age.
2. You can access useful tools and resources to help you plan for retirement.

For example, you can use our retirement income tool to get an idea of how much money you could have in future and the type of lifestyle you’re on track for.

3. You can see how much your pension plan is currently worth and how your investments are performing.
4. You can view and manage your payments and withdrawals, change how much you pay into it. And from age 55 (rising to 57 from 2028), access your pension savings.
5. You can bring some or all of your pension pots together into one single plan, which could make it easier for you to keep tabs on your pension savings.

With just a few taps of a screen or clicks of a button, you can check in on your plan and make changes that are right for you…wherever you are.

This can help you cut down on paperwork and do more with your hard-earned pension savings.

Transferring pensions will not be right for everyone. You'll need to consider all the facts and decide if it's right for you

Money invested is at risk.
