Transferring a SIPP pension
If you’d like to switch your pension to the Halifax there are a number of things you’ll need to consider before starting the transfer.
- Not all pensions are transferable - please contact your current provider first to find out if you’re able to transfer. If you’re transferring a final salary pension worth more than £30,000 then you will need to get independent financial advice. Your advisor will need to sign a Financial Advice Declaration form (PDF, 53 KB) before we can start the transfer.
- Transfer and exit fees - a transfer will cost £60 per pension (up to a maximum of £300). Your existing pension provider may also charge.
- You may lose out on potential pension benefits with your current provider if you choose to transfer out.
- Costs vary between pension providers so it’s important to familiarise yourself with these differences.
How to transfer your SIPP

Our SIPP is administered by AJ Bell.
Frequently asked questions about transferring
-
Simple transfers usually take 5 weeks to complete but complex transfers may take longer.
-
If you’re transferring funds to us from another broker we might hold a different fund class than the one you hold now. This means we may need to convert your fund into a class that can be transferred, which may be more expensive or could be cheaper. We do this to make sure your fund does not have to be sold as part of the transfer. Once the transfer is complete, we’ll make sure that you hold the cheapest fund class we have available for investment.
