Transfer US Pension to UK Service

Cross-Border Retirement Planning for American Expats in the UK

At Titan Wealth International, we provide expert pension and retirement advice for American citizens living in the UK — including those with a 401(k), 403(b), or similar US pension.

Our specialist service helps you roll over your US pension into an IRA, manage your UK pension assets through a SIPP, and build a cross-border financial plan that supports your long-term goals — whether you retire in the UK, Europe, or back in the US.

The only international firm with dual accreditation, as a CISI Chartered Status Firm and a CII International Professional Partner Firm.

As Seen In

Who This Service Is For?

01

You’re an American citizen now living in the UK with one or more US-based pensions, such as a 401(k), 403(b), or Traditional IRA.

02

You’ve relocated from the US to the UK and want help aligning your financial life across both systems.

03

You’re a UK resident — citizen or non-citizen — who has previously worked in the US and built up a 401(k) or similar retirement plan.

04

You want to manage your US and UK pensions in one joined-up strategy with compliant cross-border tax and investment advice.

05

You’re planning to retire in the UK, Europe, or the US and want a tax-efficient financial plan that can adapt as your life evolves.

Note: You cannot transfer a 401(k) directly into a UK pension. However, we can help you roll over into an IRA and align it with your wider UK retirement plan.

How We Can Help You

Our US Pension to UK service is tailored to your dual-country situation. You’ll receive joined-up advice that supports your full financial picture.

401(k) to IRA Rollovers

We assist with rolling over your 401(k), 403(b), or other US pensions into an IRA, giving you control, flexibility, and access to investment options aligned with your long-term goals.

Integrated UK Pension Advice

If you have a UK pension — such as a defined benefit, defined contribution, or personal pension — we assess your options, and where appropriate, recommend an International SIPP or UK-based solution.

Cross-Border Tax Planning

We provide guidance on the UK–US tax treaty, Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) eligibility, PFIC pitfalls, and efficient drawdown strategies across both jurisdictions.

Ongoing Financial Planning

Work with us for retirement income planning, pension drawdown, and wider financial strategies — including investments, savings, and estate planning in both countries.

Wealth Management in the UK and US

We help you manage assets held in the UK and the US, with one team overseeing your global net worth and retirement plan — wherever you choose to live.

Benefits of Managing Your US Pension from the UK

Effectively managing your US pension while living in the UK unlocks long-term advantages:

Tax Efficiency

Avoid common mistakes with PFICs, double taxation, or misreporting — and maximise tax relief opportunities under the UK–US tax treaty.

Simplified Retirement Planning

Consolidate and coordinate your pensions across both countries. One plan. One strategy. One team of advisers.

Currency Management

Reduce FX costs and currency mismatch by aligning investments and income to your spending needs in GBP, USD, or EUR.

Tailored Investment Control

Gain more control over how your retirement assets are invested with access to global portfolios that reflect your risk appetite and goals.

Access to Trusted Experts

Work with cross-border specialists who understand FATCA, UK FCA rules, IRS reporting obligations, and international retirement planning.

How Our US Pension to UK Service Works

A step-by-step process designed for clarity, compliance, and confidence.

Book a free call with a UK–US specialist to discuss your 401(k), residency status, and retirement goals.

We contact your US plan providers and collect all relevant data. If you also have UK pensions, we’ll include those in our analysis.

Your adviser will explore your full financial picture — including desired retirement location, tax planning goals, and legacy planning.

Receive a complimentary report with a clear breakdown of your options — including IRA rollover, UK SIPP advice, and a cross-border recommendation.

If a rollover or strategy is right for you and you wish to proceed, we’ll handle everything from start to finish. All costs will be communicated to you upfront before proceeding. If a rollover isn’t right for you, or you decide not to proceed, you walk away without any charges.
