    Hargreaves Lansdown SIPP transfer Cashback promotion back on, though with less generous terms than before. And cashback not paid until December 2025.

    Transfer your Pension | Pension Transfer | HL

    I can not see any mention of cashback in that link?
    That's strange. When I click on it and scroll down, there is the usual yellow box with the cashback details. It's under the Transfers page. Perhaps you can get to it that way?
    I don't see it - what do you mean by "under" is it at the bottom of the page you have linked (I have scrolled all the way down and there is nothing) or do you have to click on something on the page?

    Yes it is in the version I see. It's towards the bottom of the page and I didn't click anything else. I have today also seen it promoted on HL's Home page

    Yes that is how you see it …


    I think the key point here is the second sentence.

    'Plus as a longstanding client, you could receive between £350 - £3,000 cashback'

    If it is only being offered to selected clients, that would explain why I can not see it ( and another poster said the same).

    Although I am a HL customer, I have only been with them less than a year, after  transferring in an ISA for a £1000 cashback, but I am only spending £45 pa in platform fees. So probably not the sort of customer the new owners want,

    The cashback offer is similar to older ones. I think the last two very generous ones were just to bump up the AUM before they were sold.

    Thanks, that explains it. Though strangely I could see it even when not logged in but maybe that is to do with cookies or something!
    I'm not very long standing either but did benefit from their more generous transfer offer earlier this year.

    How weird.  I still don't see it but I have only been with HL since 2007!  I will see what logging in does.

    It’s on the main website www.hl.co.uk which shows even when not logged in …

    Well I'm a longstanding customer, and I can't see it.

    It's not on HL's front page that I can see, and the typography and header layout is quite different:

    Doesn't show for me, logged in, or logged out on Chrome. 

    It also doesn't show for my wife, logged in or out on Edge.

    I had a £1500 incentive last year, she has never had one, both get the same screen:



    • The rich buy assets.
    • The poor only have expenses.
    • The middle class buy liabilities they think are assets.
