You can access your pension pot quickly and easily using the Cushon app. Access to your pension pot is allowed from age 55, set as the government’s target pension age. The target age increases to 57 in 2028.

Steps to access your pension pot in the Cushon app

• Open the Cushon app and select the pension pot you want to view.
• Tap more options.
• Select Access your pension to see your choices for withdrawing money.

You must be at least 55 years old to start this process. The option appears in the app from your 55th birthday.

If you have a serious health condition or a terminal illness, you may be able to access your pension pot early. Early access depends on a review of your NatWest Cushon pension. For more details on early retirement due to ill health, read this article from MoneyHelper.
