Recent changes to our service

We've made some improvements to our service. Some of these changes were made to improve the efficiency of how our processes work behind the scenes. Other changes were made to make NEST easier for you to use.

Moving your money

From April 2017 you’ll be able to transfer money into NEST from a UK based-pension scheme that’s registered with HMRC. We will only be able to accept certain types of transfer payments.

From April 2017, you’ll also have the option to transfer your pot to another registered pension scheme even if you are under the age of 55. You can find out How can I transfer money in or out of NEST? in our member help centre.

Removal of Annual contribution limit

The annual contribution limit (ACL) is the maximum amount that can be contributed to any member’s NEST retirement pot in a tax year. This limit is being removed from 1 April 2017. Until then, the current annual contribution limit still stands at £4,900 for the 2016/17 tax year.

Improvements to our member help centre

We’re listening to your feedback and continue to make improvements to our help centre to make it more useful. For example, we have added new information under ‘changes in my circumstances’ and ‘logging into my account’ sections. We have also added some new screenshots in the article to make it easier to follow.
