Hi. So I've built up a few pension pots over the years with different employers - 5 in total. 4 are dormant and one is active. These are between Zurich, Irish Life and New Ireland. I've always been happy with this and never looked to amalgamate them into a single plan.
So, my question is around the expected retirement age on the plans. 4 of them (including my active one) are 65 and one is 60.
But, I am planning to retire at 60. From this info, does it mean that 4 of the accounts cannot be touched until I hit 65? I did enquire about moving the dormant accounts into the one with retirement age of 60 but could not because it was not active.
Would an option be to simply open a new private account and transfer the funds to that, giving me back control?
Thanks!
