What Happens to Your Pension When You Leave SAP?

When you leave SAP, your occupational pension becomes “preserved.” This means:

  • It’s frozen and remains invested

  • You typically can’t access it until retirement age

  • It may be managed by a default provider with limited control

But under Irish pension rules, once you’re aged 50 or older, you may qualify to transfer it into your own name — via a Personal Retirement Bond (PRB) — and unlock the funds earlier than you think.

Benefits of Unlocking Your SAP Pension

  • ✅ Access funds earlier (from age 50)

  • ✅ Gain control over how it’s invested

  • ✅ Consolidate multiple pensions from different employers

  • ✅ Make estate planning easier for your family

  • ✅ Potentially reduce charges or improve growth

Our specialist pension team helps former employees:

  • Track down lost or dormant pensions

  • Assess if early access is allowed

  • Transfer your SAP pension to a PRB if eligible

  • Avoid jargon and delays

You’ll get free, no-obligation advice — and full clarity on your options.
