Last updated How we write our guides

We do not provide financial advice. We act solely as an introducer. Tell us what you need help with and, with your consent, we’ll put you in touch with an FCA-authorised financial adviser who can look at your circumstances and give you a personal recommendation.

What can a pension adviser help with?

  • Combining pensions and whether moving one would cost you valuable benefits
  • Taking your pension: drawdown, an annuity, lump sums and the tax on each
  • Retirement planning: when you can afford to stop work and what income you could have
  • Final salary pensions, including whether a transfer could ever be right for you
  • Inheritance tax, including the changes to pensions from April 2027
  • Reviewing charges and investments on pensions you already have

Advice or guidance?

Guidance explains your options in general. Pension Wise, from the government’s MoneyHelper service, offers free, impartial guidance on your pension options if you are 50 or over. It won’t tell you what to do.

Advice is a personal recommendation from an FCA-authorised adviser, based on your circumstances. The adviser is responsible for that recommendation, and you have more protection if it turns out to be unsuitable. Advice is usually charged for.

What does pension advice cost?

Enquiring with us is free, and so is your first conversation with the adviser. If you then want advice, the adviser firm will tell you in writing what it charges before you agree to anything. It is your choice whether to go ahead. See what pension advice typically costs.

How to check an adviser

Every firm we introduce you to is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. You can check any firm or adviser yourself on the FCA register, which also shows what they are allowed to do.

What happens after you enquire

  1. We call you back, usually within the hour between 9am and 5pm on weekdays, or the next working day.
  2. We ask a few questions about your pensions and what you want help with.
  3. With your consent, we introduce you to an FCA-authorised adviser suited to your enquiry.
  4. The adviser explains how they work and what they charge. You decide whether to go ahead.

Frequently asked questions

Do you give pension advice?

No. Pensions Advice UK is an introducer. We put you in touch with FCA-authorised advisers, and any advice comes from them.

Is pension advice free?

Enquiring with us and your first conversation with the adviser are free. Regulated advice is usually charged for, and the adviser firm will tell you its fees in writing before you agree to anything.

What is the difference between Pension Wise and a pension adviser?

Pension Wise, from MoneyHelper, gives free, impartial guidance on your options if you are 50 or over. A pension adviser gives you a personal recommendation based on your circumstances, and is responsible for it.

How do I know an adviser is FCA authorised?

Search for the firm or the adviser on the FCA register at register.fca.org.uk. It shows whether they are authorised and what they are allowed to do.

Do I need advice to transfer a final salary pension?

If your final salary or other safeguarded pension is worth more than £30,000, the law requires you to take advice from an FCA-authorised adviser before it can be transferred.
