Ask your Swisslife fund for an international payment slip ie one that an international organisation can use and send this to your pension fund in the UK with a covering letter. They will either refuse to pay in on the grounds that you are not entitled to do this or make the payment if you are entitled.

There are specific rules attached to pension funds transfers and you need to provide a lot of specifics to determine if you are entitled to transfer and then need to check the pension fund in the UK as to whether they accept the provisions allowing transfers or not. The UK system is not quite as modern as the Swiss one in this respect...

Thanks a lot, I'll get back on the phone to them
