Frequently asked questions

To guarantee the single contribution is added to your client's pension or ISA in the 2025/26 tax year, we must receive the completed application and the money must clear into the Royal London bank account by 6pm on Thursday 2 April.

If we receive the application or contribution after this date, it may not be added to your client's plan in the 2025/26 tax year.

We must receive the full amount and the contribution must clear into the Royal London bank account by 6pm on Thursday 2 April. If we receive a smaller amount, the single contribution will only be partially applied to your client's pension or ISA.

For ISAs, this means clients could lose part of their yearly allowance as unused ISA allowance can't be carried forward into the new tax year.

Please make sure we receive the full amount as one payment and allow enough time for the money to clear to guarantee the single contribution is added to your client's pension or ISA in the 2025/26 tax year.

No. If your client wants to use their pension savings to make a single contribution into their ISA, they must withdraw the money from their pension using the normal withdrawal process and pay the contribution via a bank transfer from their own bank account.

Your client should allow enough time for the withdrawal process to complete and the contribution to be transferred to the Royal London bank account to guarantee the single contribution is added to their ISA in the 2025/26 tax year.
