To locate pensions from previous employment, you'll need the  name of the pension provider and your policy reference number (usually a mix  of numbers and letters).

Here are some steps to help you find these details:      

1) Contact Previous Employers: Reach out to your past employers to identify the pension provider you had, or look for any letters or documents you  received about these pensions.    

2) Use Compound's “Find My Pension” Tool: Log in to your Compound app and swipe  to find your pension, we will take it from there.    

3) Government Pension Tracing Service: Use the free government service to  search for your old employer. If they’re listed in the database, you can find  out the pension provider's details.    

4) Email Search: Try searching "pension" in your email inbox and  junk folder to see if you received any communication from your previous  provider. Once you know your provider, contact them to retrieve your policy reference number. You’ll typically need to provide your name, National  Insurance number, and details of the employer who set up the pension.    

Finding your old pensions can seem daunting, but it's a great way to get a  clear view of your total pension pot value so you can plan for the future.  

Risk warning: Capital at risk.
