- I used the previous contact details before I received the notification of change, will my enquiry be redirected?
Yes. There is no need to resend any communications, but please use the new contact details going forward.
- Why do you sometimes ask for additional information from me before responding to my question or request?
It is important that we check that the person we are responding to is the person they claim to be. We have to ensure we do not give our policyholders’ personal information to the wrong person or pay their benefits to a fraudster. We therefore sometimes have to ask for more information until we are satisfied that we know who we are communicating with.
- Will I now receive a payslip?
We will only issue a payslip if your pension payment changes by more than £5.
- What will appear on my bank statement?
You may notice a slight difference on your bank statements or mobile banking app in relation to the payer of your payment. It previously read “Rothesay Life PLC”, going forward it will read “Rothesay”.
- Can I access my policy details online and if so how do I register?
We will be making our online service available to you in the future. You will receive a communication inviting you to register when it is available for your policy/policies.
- PAC wouldn’t let me cash-in my annuity, can I do that now please?
While there is legislation which may allow your policy/policies to be exchanged for a one-off lump sum provided we agree to this, Rothesay is not currently able to offer this option.
In the future, we may offer you the opportunity to swap your regular pension income for a one-off lump sum. We are unable to confirm this or provide any timescales at this point in time. Please be assured you will be contacted if the opportunity arises.
- Who can I talk to if I have concerns about cost of living or need guidance to make a financial decision?
