Your three steps to pension success
Sign in to your Smart Pension account
- We’ll send you an activation email to set up your account for the first time, so keep an eye out for it. Our top tip is to sign up using your personal email address so that if you change jobs in the future, you can still keep track of this pension.
- Once you’ve activated your account, you can use this link to sign in and check your pension balance, review your retirement age, combine your old pensions, change how your money is invested and much more. It also means you won’t lose track of your pension in the future.
- You can get help signing in or reset your password if you forget it.
Protect your loved ones
Did you know that your pension doesn’t form part of your estate? To protect your loved ones if you die before retiring, you need to tell us who you’d like to leave your pension savings to. It’s quick and easy to do and gives you peace of mind, plus you can change your beneficiaries at any time. Click on the Beneficiaries tile to get started.
