FOR ADVISERS ONLY
Submitting applications online
You can use our personal pension submission portal to upload and securely submit personal pension application forms, when it's not been possible to get a handwritten signature from your client:
- The application form doesn't need to be signed by your client. Instead, we'll accept an email from your client as an electronic signature. You should make sure that there's suitable security used on any emails between you and your client, particularly for emails which might contain personal information about the client or their plan.
- Your client should confirm in the email that they agree with the relevant declarations and they want to submit the application. The client email should also include the completed, unsigned application form as an attachment. We’ve created some standard wording for the client to use.
- You should then upload the client email as a supporting document on the online form. Here's some instructions on how to use the personal pension submission portal.
We can also accept copies of scanned personal pension application forms that have been signed by the client and forms that have been submitted with an electronic signature.
And in the exceptional circumstance where the client doesn't have access to email or the internet, we can accept a verbal agreement from them over the phone.
Just let us know in the comments section of our personal pension submission portal.
