If your other pension is defined contribution (DC) – you pay money into the pension and it’s invested to help it grow – you can usually transfer it into now:pensions. Find out more about DC pensions here.
You can also transfer in:
- pension credits from a pension sharing order after a divorce, and
- cash transfers from pensions you were in for less than two years.
If the pension you want to transfer isn’t any of these, you’ll need to check whether now:pensions can accept it. There are some types of pension we don’t accept. Your pension provider should be able to tell you if there’s anything that would stop us accepting your pension.
If you were enrolled into now:pensions less than a month ago, you won’t be able to start a transfer in yet. For one month after you’re enrolled into now:pensions, you have the right to stop your payments in, get the money back and be treated as if you’d never been in now:pensions. You can’t transfer in any pensions in until this month is over.
Log in to now:u and go to Find and transfer. You’ll see the date you can start a transfer in from. You’ll also find this date on your enrolment letter.
