Managing your pension is so much easier with a myRPS online account.
What is a myRPS account?
Your myRPS account is your own online pension account. It’s a secure area of the site that’s all about you and your pension and it’s the quickest, easiest and most convenient way to take control of your pension.
Your myRPS account is also packed with benefits that you won't find anywhere else on the Railways Pension Scheme website.
Why sign up?
Here’s how a myRPS account can make managing your pension so much easier:
24/7 access
Your myRPS account gives you secure access to your pension information whenever you need it, day or night. Whether you’re checking your details or planning for retirement, you can do it at a time and place that suits you.
Self service
You can manage your personal details, make or update nominations, and reset your password without needing assistance.
IWDC and BRASS members can also manage and switch their investment funds directly through their account.
Pension planning support
Within your myRPS account, there are some great, easy tools to help you get an idea of what you can expect to get when you start taking your pension and help you plan more efficiently for your future.
You can request unlimited online estimates to see what you’re likely to receive in retirement. These are updated in real time and can be generated as often as you like.
You can also access a resource library tailored to your section and membership. This includes scheme rules and guidance to help you make informed decisions.
