Transferring Mercer Master Trust DC pension to Vanguard SIPP

1.5K Posts

Afternoon,
I'm trying to transfer a DC pension pot from Mercer Money Master Trust into my Vanguard SIPP. I've previously transferred pots into the SIPP from Standard Life and it was an easy process. However this time when on Vanguards website, its asks you to include the name of the provider the scheme is with, Mercer isn't a provider that automatically comes up which I was surprised about as I thought they were quite a player in the pension space. It does give you the option to manually add the provide details (Name, address etc).
When logging into my Mercer account I can find my policy number and account amount, when I click the option to manage the pension it asks me to log into Scottish Widows (this was where the pension was originally when I worked for RWE). I can log into here but this take me to a different policy number with zero balance.
So my question is, to transfer to Vanguard do I state that Mercer are the provider or is it Scottish Widows?
Thanks in advance for any replies

Maybe someone else could confirm for sure, but otherwise you will need to ask Mercer. (good luck getting a quick reply from Mercer as they have a reputation for taking forever to reply).

And also do not be surprised if they take ages to respond to anything.
