...once the UK leaves the EU, PensionBee has warned ... that pensioners may be forced to re-route their retirement funds through accounts held by European banks, leaving them exposed to hidden fees and poor exchange rates, after some of Britain's biggest banks said that they would close expats' accounts at the end of the transition period on December 31. ... savers may also be forced to confront low interest rates... PensionBee chief executive ... said: "Pension providers must work quickly to adapt their systems and provide cost-effective solutions for their customers, in order to avoid leaving overseas pensioners in limbo without access to their retirement savings. ... Expats already withdrawing from their pensions should investigate whether receiving pension payments from the UK will have tax implications in their country of residence, and may wish to seek advice from a local tax adviser."
