How do I make personal contributions to my SIPP?
You are able to make a lump sum payment using your debit card or set up a regular payment using a direct debit. Log in to your account and select either ‘Single payment’ or ‘Regular payments’.
You can also send a cheque but this will take at least five working days before funds are available for investment. Please send your cheque with a completed SIPP additional contribution form.
Unfortunately, there is not a specific bank account that you are able to pay money into.
