Find your pensions

Track down any forgotten workplace pensions with our free pension finder and combine them all in one handy account.

Why find and combine your pensions?

Not sure where all your old pensions are? You're not alone. According to the Pensions Policy Institute, in 2024 there was as much as £31.1 billion sleeping in lost or forgotten UK pensions.

Chances are, you may have forgotten about some of your old workplace pensions. That’s why we launched a service that tracks down your lost pensions – for free.

Read about combining my pensions

All your money, all in one placeBy combining your pensions in one place, it makes it easier for you to keep an eye on your money and invest it however you like.

Lower costs to maintainOne account means only one set of account and management fees. The average person changes jobs 11 times in their life – that's a lot of pensions to keep track of.

It’s free to track down your pensionsDid we mention it’s free? We just need a few details, then we’ll get to work finding and combining your pensions into one place.

Remember that investments go up and down in value, and you could lose money as well as make it. How you’re taxed will depend on your circumstances, and pension and tax rules can change. We don’t offer investment advice, so you’ll need to be confident you can manage your pension yourself. It's important to check that you won't lose out by transferring your pension.
