As you'd expect from a leading financial services provider, our pension (Group Flexible Retirement Plan) is one of the best around. The company makes a 16% monthly contribution to the plan on your behalf – you can join and make no payments from your salary, and still benefit from our contributions.
If you do choose to make your own monthly payments, we match these contributions up to 2% of your pensionable salary. We also make an additional contribution equal to 10% of the monthly amount you pay. So if you paid 2% of your salary into your pension each month, you’d receive a contribution from the company of 18.2% on top of that.
If you join the plan you’ll save on tax and National Insurance. You have complete freedom and control over how the payments are invested, and you can pay in additional lump sums at any time – subject to HMRC maximum and plan minimum limits. With this generous pension scheme you can feel confident that you’re planning well for your retirement.
Retirement savings (pension) – We’ll make contributions of 16% of your annual salary into your plan. Plus, we’ll match any contribution you make to a maximum of 2%. Finally, any addition contribution you make we’ll top up by 10%.
If you make the most of matching and opt to contribute 2% of your pensionable salary with the employer contribution of 18.2% a total of 20.2% could be going into your plan each month.
Private healthcare – We fund the cost of a private healthcare policy to help you gain access to prompt private healthcare when you need it. You can opt to include your family / partner at a competitive cost.
