How long does a transfer take?

How long does it usually take for a transfer from another provider to show in my Penfold account?

Written by Elis

Transfer times vary depending on your current provider and how they process transfers.

Providers that use Origo, an electronic pension transfer system, are usually much faster than providers that rely on paper forms and the post.

Typical transfer times are:

  • Origo transfers: usually completed within 3 months

  • Non-Origo transfers: may take 3 months or longer

Sometimes transfers take longer than expected. This can happen if:

  • Information does not match between providers

  • Your provider carries out extra security or due diligence checks
