FAQs

Frequently asked question about SIPPs and cash.

A SIPP, or Self Invested Personal Pension, is a type of personal pension plan.  

It works much like other pensions when it comes to contributions, tax relief, and eligibility. The key difference is that SIPPs give more flexibility, with greater control over how savings are invested.  

This can include stocks and shares, cash, property, and alternative assets such as gold, art, or classic cars. Investment selection within the SIPP may be made by the beneficiary and/or their financial adviser; however, the overall management and administration of the scheme is carried out by the SIPP administrator.  

Most SIPPs hold some cash as a lower-risk component, typically increasing as retirement approaches. The Society offers a SIPP cash deposit account which provides a home for that cash element of the SIPP. These deposit accounts are only administered through SIPP administrators, not the pension beneficiaries.  

Only SIPP Scheme Administrators can open a SIPP Cash Deposit Account on behalf of clients. 

Your client is generally eligible if: 

  • They are a UK resident. 
  • They are under the age of 75. 
  • They have a National Insurance number. 

No, however if your client is a new customer, we will need proof of their identity to open a new account.  

Only a SIPP Scheme Administrator can open and then manage this account.  

No. Please contact your SIPP Scheme Administrator who can open the account on your behalf.
