Transfer endowment policy monies

I have an endowment policy with Natwest and owe a friend of mine a lot of money. I have agreed to transfer the money in the policy to him.

Is it possible to transfer the money directly to my friend's account, and if so, what authorisation do I need to provide to them?

Any help is much appreciated

    Not without making it more difficult for yourself due to money laundering requirements and payments to 3rd parties. Some providers dont even allow it now, although some still do. As the endowment provider.
