Can I get a better income from my annuity?

If you get a quote for our Pension Annuity, we can also tell you if the amount we’ve quoted is the highest in the market, or if you could get a higher annual income by shopping around.

To do this, we’ll need to share some of your key information with other annuity providers. You can rest assured that we won’t share your contact details. We’ll ask for your consent to share your information as part of your quote. 

Your choice

• If you choose to buy a pension annuity it's essential that you select the right one for you as, once the cancellation period has passed, you won't be able to change your annuity payments or annuity provider.
• It’s important to shop around and get as much guidance and advice as you need before you make any decisions about what's best for you. Other providers may have more appropriate products or be able to offer a higher level of retirement income.
• Other providers will offer different rates based on medical or lifestyle factors. Even if you qualify for extra income with us another provider could offer you more.
• Any options you choose could affect the income you receive for the rest of your life.
