Bring your pensions together

Transfer to Smart Pension

There are many benefits of bringing your pensions together, and now is the perfect time to make a transfer. For a limited time only, if you transfer your old pensions to us, you could receive a free boost of up to £1,000 added to your Smart Pension account. And because it’s invested, this free pension boost could grow to thousands by the time you retire.

How the offer works

1. Sign into your Smart Pension account

Request a transfer online via your Smart Pension account by 31 December 2026.

2. Transfer in at least £1,000

The combined value of eligible pension transfers must be £1,000 or more when the transfer(s) complete.

3. Keep your pension invested

To qualify for a reward, the transferred pension must remain invested in your account for 6 months. Market movements don’t affect eligibility.

4. Choose your reward

We will contact you to choose between a pension boost, growing for your future, or a Love2Shop gift card.

5. Receive your reward

Your chosen reward will be issued in the month following your choice, subject to the terms and conditions.

Your reward explained

The reward you receive depends on the total value of eligible pension transfers when your transfer(s) complete.

Total transfer value Pension boost reward up to Love2Shop gift card
Less than £1,000 £0 £0
£1,000 to £10,000 £25 £13
£10,001 to £20,000 £50 £25
£20,001 to £40,000 £200 £125
£40,001 to £100,000 £500 £250
£100,001+ £1,000 £500

These figures assume we can claim 20% basic rate tax relief from HMRC for you. For example, an £800 contribution would become £1,000 in your pension. Tax relief is limited to 100% of your relevant UK earnings for the tax year, or £3,600 if this is higher.

Why transfer to Smart Pension?

Whether you want to grow your pension or take your retirement income your way, you can do both in one place.

These illustrated values are not a guarantee of future returns and should not be relied upon as an indication of an individual member's savings growth. Their sole purpose is to highlight the effect of compounding based on different performance returns on pension pots over an extended period. The value of your investment can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invested. Returns are not guaranteed.

The illustrative example is based on popular SIPP providers offering medium-risk ready-made portfolios (typically 60-80% equities). Please note that SIPP ready-made strategies can fundamentally differ from that of Smart Pension, and therefore may not be directly comparable. Figures at April 2026. Based on Smart Pension's 5 year performance at 9.3% and SIPP provider median average 5 year performance at 6.46%.

Before you transfer

Bringing your pensions together could make them easier to manage, and you could pay less in fees. Transferring your pensions to us could mean more of your money stays invested for your future.

Make sure you understand any protections, benefits, guarantees, or features you may lose. Different pension providers offer different benefits, and these may not be available after a transfer.

Safeguarded benefits

If you're transferring safeguarded benefits worth more than £30,000, you'll normally need to obtain regulated financial advice before the transfer can proceed.

(b) You have checked whether you have any protected rights in the transferring scheme and whether you would lose those rights by transferring;

(e) You have taken enough time to decide whether a transfer to Smart Pension is right for you.

2.1. To accept the offer, you must request a transfer via your Smart Pension account from a UK registered pension scheme to Smart Pension before 31 December 2026 (the “Offer Period”). You may request more than one transfer but only transfers requested during the Offer Period will qualify for the offer.

2.2. The minimum transfer value for all transfers requested during the Offer Period is £1,000.

2.3. To remain eligible for the offer, the eligible transferred pension(s) must remain in Smart Pension for a period of six months from the date of receipt (the “Qualifying Period”).

2.4. Any withdrawals or transfers out during the Qualifying Period will result in the reward being re-calculated on the value of the remaining part of the transfer as at the date each eligible transfer completed. If the re-calculated value is less than £1,000, no reward will be paid. Otherwise, the reward will be re-calculated using the reward bands set out below.

2.6. If, after a reward has been paid, you withdraw or transfer out of Smart Pension before 31 December 2027, some or all of the transferred pension(s), Smart Pension reserves the right to reclaim some or all the reward paid. The amount(s) reclaimed will be determined following each withdrawal or transfer and will be calculated using the methodology set out above, by deducting the revised reward amount from the reward paid.

2.7. Smart Pension cannot accept transfers of any defined benefit, safeguarded benefit or otherwise guaranteed pensions and any transfer must be made in accordance with our usual processes.

2.8. Smart Pension will not accept responsibility if the transferring scheme blocks or delays a transfer.

3.6. The pension boost to your Smart Pension account will be up to £800 and Smart Pension will also apply for tax relief of up to £200 on the amount on your behalf, totalling a maximum of £1,000.

3.7. If you are eligible for basic rate tax relief, this will be added to your account once this is received from HMRC, in accordance with Smart Pension’s usual processes for relief at source claims. This could take up to 10 weeks. Higher or additional rate tax payers may be able to claim additional tax relief in their tax return.

3.8. Pension boost reward thresholds:

Total transfer value Pension boost from Smart Pension + Pension boost from basic rate = Total pension boost value
Less than £1,000 £0 + £0 = £0
£1,000 to £10,000 £20 + £5 = £25
£10,001 to £20,000 £40 + £10 = £50
£20,001 to £40,000 £160 + £40 = £200
£40,001 to £100,000 £400 + £100 = £500
£100,001+ £800 + £200 = £1,000
