Need help and guidance?
We can’t provide guidance or advice about how to take your pension savings, but a specialist can. Get help with finding the right help and visit our Guidance and advice page.
If you’ve made a decision and would like to take your savings as a regular income, or an annuity, the first thing you’ll need to do is compare your options and make a decision on which is right for you.
We can’t provide you with an annuity, but there are plenty of providers who can and it’s all about working out which one is right for what you need.
You’ll get different terms depending on what you want your income to do (pay only to you, protect your loved ones in the event of your death, increase in line with inflation), so it’s worth shopping around for the best deal – like you would with any other financial product.
