Releasing money from a pension
Current pension rules mean you can take money from you pension from the age of 55 as long as you have the right type of scheme. And with our help you can get the ball rolling from the age of 54:
  • Up to 25% of the pension you release would be tax-free
  • After the first 25% you take, any further withdrawals would be taxed as income
  • You can access 25% tax-free from each of the pension funds you have
Pensions are complicated and there are a number of pitfalls when it comes to taking money early, such as paying too much tax or leaving yourself worse off in retirement. As a regulated specialist, Pension Access will help you avoid these pitfalls. And if you decide to go ahead and withdraw some money early, we will take care of everything for you.

    What our customers say...

    Common questions about releasing your pension:

    You can start the pension accessing process at age 54. This can be beneficial because the time it takes to access your pension money can vary. As long as you are 55 on the day that you take money from your pension, talking to us now can ensure the money is ready when you are eligible.

    Before accessing your pension you should speak with a specialist like us, first. This is because you could be losing some extremely valuable benefits or guarantees by accessing your pension early.

    It will leave you with a lot less to live on in retirement, which is why it makes sense to get some advice before making any final decisions. We offer a no obligation pension check.

    Generally, the first 25% you access would be tax-free, depending on the type of pension you have. After the first 25% you take, any further withdrawals would be classed as income and taxed at your marginal rate. Depending on your circumstances, taking your pension in stages could be a more tax efficient option – we would let you know if this is the case.

    We can help! Complete our form and we will send you out the pack you need to get started. Please note, releasing your pension early shouldn’t be seen as an easy way to raise money.

    It won’t cost you a penny for us to complete an initial check of your retirement savings. We will also let you know if we think pension release is not right for you.

    A fee is payable only if you choose to proceed with our full advice and you become a client.
