How do I make contributions as a self-employed member?

Once you’ve set up your Nest account, you can login and choose to make regular monthly contributions or a one-off contribution.

The minimum amount you can contribute is £10.

We’ll claim tax relief from HMRC at a basic rate of 20% if you’re eligible.

You’ll need to have a UK registered bank account to make payment by Direct Debit or debit card. It should be a personal bank account and not a business account.

A contribution charge of 1.8 per cent will be deducted each time you make a contribution into your retirement pot.

How can I make regular monthly contributions?

Login to your online account and select ‘Manage contributions’ from the dashboard.

Then select ‘Set up a monthly contribution’.

You can then follow the on-screen instructions and set up a Direct Debit to make regular monthly payments.

How can I make a one-off contribution?

Login to your online account and select ‘Manage contributions’ from the dashboard.

Then select ‘Make a one-off contributions'.

You can then follow the on-screen instructions and make a one-off payment using your Debit card or your existing Direct Debit.
