Making a single contribution

If your client wants to make a single contribution into their pension with us, everything you need to get started is right here.

If you’re just looking to start a conversation about the benefits of making a one-off payment, or even brush up on all the different tax rates and allowances, we can help you with that too.

How to pay

Submit applications online without a signature

It’s quick and easy to submit single contribution applications for existing Pension Portfolio clients with our online form - simply log into online service (opens in a new window) to get started.

Use our online form to submit applications without a signature when there’s:

  • no change to investment choice
  • less than two years since the last single contribution
  • no change to adviser
  • no change to the adviser charge or no adviser charge applies.

If the application doesn’t meet the criteria above, we’ll need a signed form. It’s still really easy to submit the application, simply:

While we can’t guarantee that we can award ProfitShare every year, if your clients make a single contribution or a transfer into their existing Royal London plan before 6pm on Thursday 30 March 2023, we'll include this in the calculations for any ProfitShare that may be awarded in 2023.

To qualify for an award in 2023, the plan must have been in force on or before 30 December 2022.
