- You can access your pot flexibly, at any time from age 55 and continue to pay contributions. This increases to 57 from 2028 unless your plan has a protected lower pension age. (Note: If you take more than your tax free cash sum, this would trigger the money purchase annual allowance and could restrict the ability to make further pension contributions tax-efficiently).
- Online account management and other resources to follow the progress of your savings.
- Flexibility to take your pension fund with you if you change jobs.
