Pension providers that will pay into an overseas bank account

WastedWords

Due to a planned move to the EU zone, I am looking for pension providers that can pay withdrawals from my DC pension to an overseas bank account.

Currently, my DC pension is held with WTW Lifesight, which can make withdrawal payments to an overseas bank account. However, the available investment choices are limited.

Most major retail SIPP providers will only make payments to a UK bank account (i.e., HL, AG Bell, Fidelity, etc.). Aviva is the only provider I have found so far that will pay into an overseas bank account.

 Does anyone know of any others?

Often it is best to retain a UK bank account and have it paid to that.  Then you can control the transfer using the money transfer service of your choice to get a better conversion rate.

That is my number one plan, but with quite a few banks having closed expat accounts I am considering a backup plan.
