Annuity Service

The decisions you make now about your retirement income could affect you for the rest of your life, so it makes sense to spend some time looking into your options and shopping around for the right pension annuity for you.

The Open Market Option

Many people who have been saving into a pension fund through an insurance company, will arrange an annuity through the same insurance company that has been providing the pension scheme. However, that insurance company may not currently offer the best annuity rates, or it may not have the options most suited to your requirements.

Therefore it is important to shop around to find the best rates for your circumstances. This is known as the ‘Open Market Option’. You can use the Saga Annuity Service Income Calculator to see how our rates currently compare to those offered by your current insurance provider. Please remember that this is only an indication of the rate you could receive. If you would like a personalised quote please call the Saga Annuity Service on 0800 046 2872. Lines are open 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. Calls may be monitored and recorded for security and training purposes. Call charges will vary.

What does it mean?

It means that you can choose the best annuity provider for you. It is extremely important to realise that once your annuity is in payment, you cannot subsequently change your mind and move to another annuity provider. This is why it is vital to make the right choice as to which provider to use and which type of annuity to purchase as it is a ‘once only’ decision.
