Pension paid direct to bank account?

Does anyone know how you go about getting your pension paid directly into a bank account? Can you get it paid directly into a post office or credit union account? Its currentlly been signed for and collected weekly?

If you mean a state contributory or non-contributory pension then see here:

How do I get my payment?

Give SW a call to ask them how to switch your payment to your deposit/current bank/PO account.

If you mean a private/occupational pension (presume not if you are currently collecting from the PO) then contact the scheme trustees or consultants.

Thanks for that clubman... you are a mind full of valuable information. Appreciate it.

Thanks - never knew about that before and would have been handier than returning the CB book to Donegal recently so that herself can get the CB/ECS payment lodged to a bank account instead of having to collect it in person...
