Thanks @JHBEM mate for the reminder. I almost forgot it. Trading212 will be announcing SIPP as well. Iāll have a look at that as well.
Mine is all with AJ Bell now - Actually works out cheaper but I really wanted everything in one place - Maybe one day!
Hi @MattG
How does it work cheaper? I assume the amount you invested in SIPP is considerably high amount, donāt you?
My circumstance is that I have a workplace pension which my employer is still paying into (Aviva [Expensive funds / Poor Selection]). So effectively I will do 1 ETF transaction per year into my SIPP which works out at Ā£125pa compared to the Ā£200 max fee ill get from IE.

Thanks @MattG . I have defined pension from NHS Scotland so workplace pension is different. Iāll pa separately for SIPP with small amount of money every month. I believe now Vanguard looks reliable and logical option at this stage as they have every option, only drawback is we need to buy Vanguard funds.
@Tom_Whitehead i hope so. If trading212 comes with better options, IE will miss many clients.
My wife has a defined NHS pension - I keep meaning to try and understand them but I can never be bothered! 
Sheās a good 25yrs before retirement!

These are the 2015 scheme calculations:
Average salary x number of years contributing x 0.0185 = annual pension.
For example:
Ā£40,000 x 35 x 0.0185 = Ā£21,700
This is not exact because benefits also keep up with inflation by being revalued each year. āActive revalued income is increased in line with treasury orders plus 1.5%. This means that if CPI growth is nil or negative the revaluation factor may be less than 1.5%.ā
For example, the increase for 2023-24 was 6.7%.
NHS Pension access age is tied to state pension age, but you can access it earlier with a penalty. For example, accessing your NHS pension 8 years early results in you obtaining around 66% of your annual pension amount.

Thanks Tom, this is helpful. Much appreciated.
Where can I nominate a beneficiary for my SIPP? Struggling to find it.
You just need to contact support. For my SIPP I have been assured that they will record the details with your account (offline).

This is interesting to seeā¦I have my Cash ISA with 212, if the SIPP (+Transfer-in capabilities) is introduced then may be worthwhile moving my S&S ISA and AJB SIPP over (depending on cost)
According to a recent Trading212 post on their community forum, there Sipp will be free:
āThatās right ā our SIPPs will be free, and there will be no account fees other than the 0.15% FX fee that applies when tradingā.

They just need to get a move on!!
Yes, I am keeping an eye on this.
I am in the situation that I want to transfer-in a lot of money from my other SIPPs and take occasional lump sums from my SIPP.
To be fair, Trading212 have mentioned that transfers-in will not be initially available, but they are still not available on IE either.
Similarly I am not expecting that Trading212 will initially be able to cope with withdrawals, but then in spite of several emails to IE support I have not received any real assurance that IE are able to properly do SIPP withdrawals.
So at the moment, to me, my SIPP account is of little use. Therefore, I will have to wait until later this year to see which provider provides the service that I need.
Certainly not having to pay Ā£200 annual fee (with Trading212) would be attractive and so I am preparing plans depending on which provider actually provides the right service.
