   If you are making a payment into a pension this should be your pre-retirement pension account as you cannot make a payment into a post retirement/drawdown account.
2. On the summary page of your account select Manage your account and select Manage payments, then Make a single payment. There will be important information on this page, and links to our Key Features and Terms and Condition documents. If you are making a payment into your pension, there will also be information on tax relief. Please take the time to read through this information.
3. If you wish to proceed, you can put details of your payment in:
   
   • Amount: If you are making a payment into your pension, enter the amount you wish to contribute. Your tax relief will be calculated automatically, and you will see the total (your payment + tax relief) displayed on screen
   
   • From which bank account
   
   • Employment status and origin of funds
4. Select By Direct Debit or By Debit Card
   
   • Setting up a new direct debit will take up to 10 working days to collect. If there is an existing direct debit in place the payment will take up to 3 working days. You can select the bank account you wish to make the payment from or add a new bank account if we do not hold the desired bank account on file
   
   • Making a payment by debit card should be an instant payment. If you wish to pay by debit card you will enter payment details at the end of the process
5. You will then be given the option to invest the payment you are making into funds. Select Yes if you wish to invest into funds. Select No if you wish to deposit your payment in cash, you will be then taken to the Review and confirm page.
