You can take a break from paying into any pension, savings and unit linked protection plans once your plan has a value.
You have 2 options
- Stop your payments indefinitely: this is referred to as Paid Up Policy or PUP
- Stop your payments for a specific amount of time. This is referred to as a Payment Holiday or Skip
Some things you need to know:
- If we receive your request on or after your usual direct debit date your payments will be put on hold from the following month.
- If your plan is a unit linked protection plan, please contact your adviser or customer service on 01 704 10 10 before taking a break in your payments.
- Please give at least two weeks’ notice before your direct debit is due. For pension plans please try to give 30 days’ notice.
- Is the plan assigned or in trust we will need permission from the assignees/trustees to do this.
