Hi Gareth. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry the signature requirement delayed your transfer. We try to make transferring pensions as simple as possible. That said, we can’t skip any checks that are required under the anti-scam regulations that came into force in 2021. We'll review the process to see how we can improve. Thanks, OZ
