How long does it take to transfer existing pensions to mynestegg?
The majority of pension transfers at mynestegg are completed using Equisoft and Origo. This means that we don't require paper based forms and can use technology to connect directly with your existing pension provider. These transfers take on average 15 calendar days but this can vary between providers.
Some pension providers are not on Equisoft and Origo and therefore require a digital signature on a transfer form which we will email to you once you have completed the sign up journey. These transfers typically take up to 30 calendar days but again vary depending on the provider.
