Transparent - no hidden fees
• Our plans have one simple annual fee ranging from 0.50% to 0.95%. We halve that fee on the portion of your pension over £100,000
• A withdrawal fee of £150 applies in certain circumstances; when accessing your pension within the first 12 months of being with us or if the value of your account’s less than £150 at the point of withdrawal
• There’s also a 30-day cancellation policy, which means we’ll return your pensions to your old providers free of charge - assuming they’re also willing to take them back.

FSCS protected - up to 100% of value
• FSCS protection for your savings in the unlikely event that we, or one of our money managers, fails. Due to the structure of our investments your pension savings are protected through a contract of long-term insurance up to 100% of their value once fully invested with us, unlike some providers where your pension’s only protected up to £85,000.

It’s quick and easy to get started - sign up in the app
• Sign up in minutes for free
• Tell us about your pensions by sharing your provider name or policy number, then confirm your transfer
• We’ll reach out to your provider to transfer your pension and keep you updated.

PensionBee’s authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. 

As with any investment, the value of your PensionBee pension can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you started with.
