How to withdraw money
If you intend to withdraw money from your Stanbic IBTC pension account, there are some set rules and guidelines that you need to follow.
As an RSA holder upon the attainment of the retirement age or age 50 (as the case may be), you are authorized to make a withdrawal from your Retirement Savings Account which will be delivered to you through programmed withdrawals.
Programmed withdrawals can be termed as the withdrawal of funds at a regular interval, which may be quarterly, monthly, etc.
Meanwhile, you are also permitted to make withdrawals from your Voluntary Contributions which is subjected to personal income tax.
Asides from programmed withdrawals, we have the lump withdrawal and it can only be applied when you still have some money left in your account which can be used to execute programmed withdrawals or purchase an annuity.
However, if the total amount of money is not up to #500,000, the owner of the account is authorized to make a lump withdrawal of the entire sum of money at once.
