(per holding)
Before you transfer: Check before you transfer a pension to us that we can accept your investments, you won’t lose any guarantees, and that you know what charges you may incur. Seek advice if you are unsure about making a transfer. Always do your own research.
Pensions that are transferred to the Freetrade SIPP may lose the protected pension age benefit, if applicable to you, meaning that you will need to wait longer until you can draw monies from your Freetrade SIPP. Please ensure you know what this means for you and the effect it may have on you and your savings.
Freetrade won't charge you to transfer your pension to us, but please check with your existing provider what fees or restrictions may apply from them. We cannot provide you with any advice therefore it is your responsibility to ensure you are happy that transferring to the Freetrade Pension is right for you.
If you're unsure if transferring your pension to Freetrade is right, you should take advice from a suitably qualified financial adviser. For more info, see our SIPP Key Features Document, Terms and Conditions, Charges Schedule and SIPP Declarations.

SIPP charges FAQs
Your SIPP comes as part of our Plus plan for £11.99 per month. You’ll be charged on the day of the month you sign up for a plan and that same day each month after that.
No, there is no transfer in fee when moving your pension from another provider to Freetrade. However, your current SIPP provider may charge, so please check with them directly.
To close your Plus plan or downgrade to a Standard plan, you’ll have to transfer your SIPP to another provider first. This is because SIPPs are a bit different to other investment accounts and operate under slightly different rules.
You can only cancel or close a SIPP within the first 30 days of opening it. After this point your SIPP cannot be closed and the pot of money you’ve built up will be preserved until you reach the age at which you’re allowed to access your pension (currently 55).
To cancel within the first 30 days of opening your Plus plan, let us know through the in-app chat within the 30 day cancellation period. When you cancel within the first 30 days we will refund any account fees taken.
