Workplace pension scheme

This is a pension scheme an employer offers to its employees. It is sometimes known as an occupational pension scheme.

If you are trying to trace a workplace pension scheme, start by working out:

• whether the employer traded under a different name
• the type of business the employer ran
• whether the employer changed address at any time
• years when you belonged to the pension scheme

Personal pension scheme

This is a scheme you arranged and bought from a pension provider, such as a bank, life assurance company or building society. It is entirely your own, which means you can contribute to it if you move jobs.

If you are trying to trace a personal pension scheme, start by working out:

• the name of the personal pension scheme
• the address where the personal pension scheme was run from
• the name of the bank, insurance company or building society involved with the personal pension scheme
