If you are 55+ and have a final salary pension you are not currently paying into or receiving, you can probably transfer it into a new flexible arrangement; and if you need to, release up to 100% as a cash lump sum, the first 25% is usually tax free.
Release 100% as cash a lump sum. The first 25% can be released tax free, the rest is taxed at your marginal tax rate at the time you take it, which could change in the future.
You take control of your money and invest it how you want, including how much risk you want to take and whether the option of ethical/green investments interest you.
You can take money out of your pension from age 55. You don’t have to access it all in one go, you now have more choice and flexibility in how you take it and when.

You may be less suited to a Final Salary Pension Transfer if you cannot accept a lower income. For example, you may be considering a transfer because some features of a DC pension scheme appeal to you, such as flexibility or control of your money. But using these features often means having to compromise in other areas, such as the level of income you can take. This means you might struggle to achieve the retirement you want, for example:
If you want a higher tax-free lump sum you will have to take a lower income from your pension.
If you want to retire early your money will have to last for longer, so you will need to budget for a lower income over time.
If you want to control your money you will need to manage your investments and pay charges which will reduce the amount in your pension pot.
This is your main or only pension.
You will rely on income from this pension.
