It is the policy of the Bedfordshire Pension Fund to pay all pension payments automatically to a bank account.
If you have changed your bank account you will need to tell us in writing, with a signature. You can find a change of bank account form on our forms for members page.
If you have changed your address, you can write to or email us with your new address details or you can register for My Pension Online to change your details online.
