Retire abroad watch your pensions

[stevewool]

It seems those of us who may plan to retire to places inside Europe may not be able to get our pensions after we leave the EU if what is said is true, but like anything i am sure its either to scare a few .

Well for all the young folk who was born after we had joined there seems to be no life before the EU.
We shall get by i am sure.

Yep my thoughts too, just get it paid into that account and then transfer it to where ever you want it going.

Yup.

Who visits their branch these days anyway, or even has paper statements, with online banking ?

I've never even visited my branch in the 12 years I have had the account, well it is in Yorkshire...:wink:

I visit mine quite often, hope it never closes :Erm:

Me too, Michael. And yes ... :iagree:!

It is a shame when they do close... especially for older folk not computer-savvy.

A couple of years ago, when I first moved to this village, there were TWO bank branches. Both closed now.
