Pension Trading Account
The Pension Trading Account was a service that allowed you to manage investments within a SIPP or SSAS with another pension provider on the ii platform.
Unfortunately, since early 2023, ii no longer offers new Pension Trading Accounts. However, you can still use our platform to manage your pension investments by applying for an ii SIPP. This can be run alongside your pension with another provider, or used to manage all of your pension savings, if the ii SIPP meets all of your needs.Â
If you are an existing Pension Trading Account member, you can see details of your options here.
Benefits of our SIPP

- Convenience -Â if you transfer your other pensions to our SIPP, you'll be able to see everything in one place, and pay just one monthly fee. Learn more
