Unipass Letter of Authority - Royal London pilot

Royal London is now piloting Unipass Letter of Authority (ULoA)

This means that your Letter of Authority request will be submitted electronically to Royal London for selected pension products only. Once submitted, you will be able to track the progress of these requests using the ULoA service.

Royal London has been around since 1861 and their business is now somewhat different to when it started. They’ve bought, owned, and rebranded a number of specialist businesses.

Policies originally taken out with the businesses below are in-scope for this pilot.

  • Royal London
  • United Friendly
  • Refuge
