Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Written by the company

Why do I have a workplace pension?
The government’s auto enrolment laws mean all employers must put eligible employees into a workplace pension and contribute to their pension savings. NOW: Pensions provides workplace pensions for millions of members on behalf of tens of thousands of employers.
Can I stop paying into my pension?
Yes, you can stop paying in at any time. After being auto enrolled for one month, the pension savings you’ve saved will be invested until you retire or transfer to another pension provider. You’ll be able to see your account at nowgateway.com. If you stop paying into your pension, you’ll miss out on your employer’s contributions – at least 3% of your earnings; tax relief; and building up pension savings. Please note charges will still apply.
Can I opt out?
You can opt out within a month of being auto enrolled and get back any money you’ve paid in. If you opt out after a month, your pension savings will be invested until you retire or transfer to another pension provider.
Can I have my money now?
Pension laws mean if you don’t opt out within one month of being auto enrolled, your pension savings will be invested until you retire or transfer your savings to another pension provider. You can start to take your pension savings any time after you reach age 55.
Why can’t I cash in my pension savings?
After you’re auto enrolled in a workplace pension, pension laws give you one month to opt out. After a month, your pension savings will be invested until you retire or transfer your savings to another provider.
How long does it take to transfer out?
Once we’ve received everything we need to carry out your transfer request, payment can take up to 25 working days.
How do I check the progress of my request?
If you’ve made a request and want to check how it’s going, email trustpilot@nowpensions.com or give us a call on 0330 100 3334 and we’ll be able to update you.

Pension well handled

Communications regarding my pension prior collection and at the time of claim were excellent.
Emails, letters sent out to me were highly appreciated and very professional. The means of claim were easy and straight forward.
Person who aided me and guided me to the end of my claim was very patient, professional and helpful very kind he deserves a pay rise. He explained the amounts and the taxes taken off and amount to be received very clearly and well, and it was very well understood.
All in all I am very satisfied with the service and a job very well done. Performance ten out of ten. Deserves five stars.
