Investment providers often give cashback incentives for opening a new SIPP and funding your account, especially with a new tax year
Pensions typically hold a fair amount of money, so providers are keen to get you to invest with them or transfer your investments over to them. These offers mostly offer cashback when you open and fund a new account.
Some articles on the site contain affiliate links, which provide a small commission to help fund our work. However, they won’t affect the price you pay or our editorial independence. Read more here.
Here at Be Clever With Your Cash, we’re not regulated to give you financial advice. We aim to give you the facts about a provider or investment but it’s up to you to decide if it’s suitable for you. If you’re looking for more personalised guidance, find a financial adviser who can give you specific advice. Remember that your capital is at risk when investing — don’t invest more than you are prepared to lose.
SIPP offers
These are offers to tempt you to sign up for a new SIPP or transfer existing ones. There may be a minimum amount you need to add in order to get the bonus, and sometimes the amount you’ll get will be determined by the amount you fund the account with. Remember, we’re just sharing offers here and not recommending any individual investment platforms, so do your research before applying.
