What is a pension loan?

A pension loan differs greatly from pension release for a number of reasons. The first one is that his scheme has nothing to do with releasing cash from your pension and everything to do with taking out a loan today and then repaying that loan only when the pension becomes payable. As long as the pension scheme you are discussing is a  personal pension then you are almost guaranteed to be accepted for a loan.

The other important thing to remember is that even if you have a bad credit history and have been turned down for loans and credit recently, it doesn’t matter because there are absolutely no credit checks at all. The criteria for a pension loan is simple: as long as you have at least £20k in your personal pension and at least £40k in your ex-occupational pension, you will qualify for a pension loan. Obviously there is more information that will be rquired to complete the process but this expalins the basic details.
