Nomination of beneficiary

It’s important to fill in a Beneficiary Form when you join the Kingfisher Pension Scheme and keep it up to date so that the Trustee knows who you would like the lump sum benefit to be paid to in the event of your death.

Simply logging in to Manage Your Account and click on Nominate Beneficiaries.

I authorise the deduction of contributions from my salary and I understand AVCs will not be eligible for matching contributions from the Company.

Declaration

I understand my contributions will be deducted at the first available payroll cycle.

I understand that my retirement savings will be invested in the default fund, Lifestyle Cash Target and my Selected Retirement Age will be my anticipated State Pension Age. If I am aged over my State Pension Age, it will be 1 year from my next birthday.

I understand I can change my investment or Selected Retirement Age at any time and will refer to the Scheme’s Member Guide for further information.

I understand that I will continue to be an active member of the Scheme until I choose to cease my membership or leave the Company.

I understand once I have been a member of the Scheme for three months, my contribution will be made via SMART Pensions and will refer to the SMART Pension Guide for further information.

I confirm I personally submitted this notice to join the Kingfisher Pension Scheme, a workplace pension scheme.
