FAQs
Everything you need to know about Raindrop’s Pension finding and combining service
01
When we’ve found 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 one 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.
02
That is the beauty of having one single online plan separated from your workplace pension. Every time you move jobs you can simply inform us and we can help you combine that pension into your Raindrop pot so you can manage your plan effectively and take full advantage of the effect of compounding on your consolidated pot.
03
- Pensions being actively contributed to by your employer, 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 the legal requirement for companies to provide a workplace pension did not exist until 2012
