Setting up a private pension
1
Sign up and choose a plan
Signing up's free and can be done online or using the PensionBee app. Just answer a few simple questions and provide your National Insurance number to begin.
You can pick one of our personal pension plans or we’ll automatically invest you in one of our two default options depending on your age. Our Global Leaders Plan is our default for those under 50 with our 4Plus Plan the default option for those 50 or over. Across each of our plans, we charge one single annual pension fee and you can change your plan at any time.
2
Transfer your old pensions
If you have one or more pensions from previous employers, you can transfer them to your new PensionBee plan. It's really simple, as our team of BeeKeepers manage the process for you.
Transferring your old pensions could result in a more effective investment strategy, make it easier to manage your savings, and can save you from paying excess fees.
3
Manage your personal pension online
From making and adjusting your contributions, to setting up beneficiaries and checking whether you're on track to meet your retirement income goal... it can all be done online or using the PensionBee app.
And once you reach retirement age, currently 55, rising to 57 from 2028, you can easily withdraw from your private pension, too. Our team's on hand to respond to any questions you might have, by email, phone and live chat.

How our private pension works
Contribute as often as you like
Make contributions easily from your online account, which we call the BeeHive. Make an Easy bank transfer in just a few taps. Your money will be invested in the stock market and other assets, and managed by one of the world’s largest money managers.
A tax efficient way to save
Private or personal pensions are a tax-efficient way to save towards your retirement. Most basic rate taxpayers get a 25% tax top up; meaning HMRC usually adds £25 for every £100 you pay into your pension, which would bring the total contribution to £125.
Flexible retirement options
From the age of 55 (57 from 2028), you can choose how to withdraw money from your private pension. Draw down a set amount each month, take out a lump sum (up to 25% tax free), buy an annuity, or do a combination of these options. Your personal pension’s as flexible as you are.
