Cannot find pension with Metro Bank Plc

Good morning,

I was using MSE’S tool to find lost pensions, which redirected me to the Gov.uk website. I tried searching for my employer, Metro Bank Plc,  but nothing turns up! I then searched only “Metro” and went through all 31 pages but still could t find them. How do I find my pension? I lost all paperwork as my estranged mother destroyed them. All I remember is it was going into Scottish Widows

    Fidelity are also showing an "Ex-Metrobank group pension plan"
    Nothing will be lost by giving both of them a call.  All you would need as a starter is your name and NI number and maybe some employment dates.

    Did metrobank operate an occupational pension?  They are not a particularly big company and maybe they used an auto-enrolment scheme or group PPP instead.

    That would be a group PPP or auto-enrolment shceme then and not an occupational pension under Metro Bank.  is there any reason why you are using third party tools and not contacting SW directly?

    They do indeed operate a Group Personal Pension.  OP, if you contact Metro Bank's head office they should be able to give you the Helpline number/other contact information for the pension provider. 
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
