You must be a customer with us to use the App. If you are not registered for online servicing you can do this on the App.  Once you are logged in you can choose to set a passcode, fingerprint or facial recognition if your device allows. 

Additional information

The Standard Life app is not available for WRAP products and Aberdeen Standard Capital customers.
Some With Profits Policies, along with some of our Bonds and Investment Fund products cannot be viewed.

Transferring other pensions won’t be right for everyone.

Payments and withdrawals
Not all products support payments through the app and you may be prompted to contact us or your employer if you have a workplace pension. Any changes to regular payments will come from the bank account that you have set up with us.

When making payments, topping up or amending a regular payment it’s important to note that investment returns aren't guaranteed. The value of your investment can go down as well as up and may be worth less than you paid in.
