The alternative?
If you prefer to do the heavy-lifting yourself, you can start your pension finding journey yourself or use the Government's Pension Tracing service.
If you decide to search for your old pensions yourself, you can start by looking at your past payslips. You will find the contact details of your previous employers and pension providers. Then, you need to contact them to find the whereabouts of your pension savings.
You can also use the Government's Pension Tracing service. It is a free service and searches a large database of workplace and personal pension schemes. It provides you with the contact details of your pension providers, which you have to contact and make an enquiry on your lost pensions. However, from our experience the database is usually limited, outdated and inaccurate.
This is why we do what we do. We want to make the process of finding your lost pensions as easy as possible for you. We're dedicated to saving you time and the hassle of going through this by yourself. We find your pensions one by one, so you don't have to.

FAQs
Everything you need to know about Raindrop’s Pension finding and combining service

01

It is very easy to lose track of your pensions.
It mainly happens when you change employers. Every time you change jobs, you are automatically enrolled on a new workplace pension. Your previous pension pot doesn't follow you to your new workplace, it stays behind with your previous pension provider.
With each employer, you get a new pension pot to save in. Naturally, you forget about your previous pensions, losing track of them.
You also lose track of them when you change address and forget to update your pension provider. We remember to change our address on bill records and bank statements but updating our pension provider is usually not at the top of our heads.
Even if you lose track of your pensions, there is a solution to find your hard-earned money.

02

When we find your pensions, and if they are eligible to be transferred, we'll create a brand new Raindrop pension account for you. We'll then combine all these pensions by transferring them into this one, new pot. This pot will stay with you for life wherever you go.
Please note that we can't combine some types of pensions. These include those which are being contributed to by your employer, or pensions which have defined benefits.
03

- Pensions that your employer actively contributes in as you may lose out on employer contributions.
- Public sector and other pensions with defined benefits or safeguarded benefits, such as Guaranteed Annuity Rates. This is because these cannot be brought together in a Raindrop pension (like most other online pension providers).
- Pensions from before the year 2000. This is because until the year 2000 there was no legal requirement for employers to provide an eligible pension scheme for their employees and therefore pre-2000 it is more likely there was no pension created for you.
