New pension options from Standard Life

Standard Life's service which allows pension funds to be moved between two providers have entered its second phase, it has been announced.

Phase one of the scheme, part of Origo 'Options', was set up to allow transfers between pension and annuity. The second phase sees transfers from pension to pension being covered.

The average time for a transfer to pass between two accounts is 11 calendar days.

Ronnie Collard, customer service director with the pension provider, commented: "Since the service launched in December 2008, 'Options' has significantly improved transfer times, allowing the industry to transform the service it is providing to customers and intermediaries."

Standard Life is one of eight providers who allow the service and allow all non-occupational products to be used, including stakeholder pensions and SIPP.

In related news, the company recently calculated that the average age of retirement is between 74 and 86 for people who do not have any savings set aside.
