Learn how to set up a direct debit to pay pension contributions

Updated over a month ago

Your Monthly contributions are collected every month via Direct Debit. You need to set up a direct debit to allow this to happen. 

This is a secure service; we will never store your bank details. 

Provided you have uploaded the completed SIF file by the 5th of the month, the total pension contributions for each pay period will be debited from your bank account between the 10th and 14th of that month (depending on when weekends or bank holidays fall). This means if you pay monthly and your pay date is the end of the month, your total contributions will be deducted between the 10th and 14th of the following month. If you pay weekly we will add up all contributions for that period and deduct them in one go, between the 10th and 14th of the following month.

There are 2 additional payment dates of the 17th and 27th. These dates will only retry to collect failed payments with pay period end dates on or before the 5th of the current month.
