    Retire abroad watch your pensions

    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 .

    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 ?

    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.
