How the process works

Here’s a list of the PIA bond products in scope for the signatureless process:

  • Prudential International Investment Bond (PIIB)
  • International Prudence Bond (IPB)

The signatureless process is available for:

  • New business
  • Top-ups

note: The signatureless declaration relates to the new business applications only. It can't be used for regulatory requirements such as tax reporting requirements and residency declarations.

The signatureless declaration removes the need for you to obtain a ‘wet’ signature from your clients.

All you have to do is complete the relevant declaration to confirm you have your client’s authority (in line with the points laid out in the declaration) to submit the application on their behalf.

Submitting requests

Please send the completed declaration by secure email to prudentialinternational@prudential.co.uk and send the monies into us electronically.

Sending monies

For bank account details to send money on Prudential International Investment Bond and International Prudence Bond, you can use the Fund Transfer Request form
