Fantastic

Excellent explanation that is easy to comprehend, as my advisor is the most knowledgeable person I know.

Avoid this company

Even if you have a referral from a doctor, they will do their best with pathetic excuses to tell you that it is not within their competence.
No wonder the low score on trustpilot.

Disappointed

Very disappointed with the actual service provided recently. So many broken promises on website.

They promise help with preventing injuries and illness and getting help from their teledoctors, however the reality is very different. They don't even take the opinion of the teledoctor into consideration. Danica, promotes a sentence of "Prevention is better than cure" but they want me to wait until there is something to cure. Say I need a referral and when I get one they don't even accept it.

Not a lot of confidence in them lately.

Dear Vanessa Fabiano

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry to leave the impression that Danica Pension is incompetent and without any concern for our customers.

We have processed your enquiries within one week each time you have sent us new information. However, the information has been incomplete in several occations, and this contributes to prolong the processing time.

On 25 May 2023, we sent you new documents, which we are awaiting return. You can help optimise case processing time by responding quickly to our requests.

Kind regards

Uncompetitive packages with awful customer experience

In today's market customer experience is the key differentiator when everyone else's products are the exact same. Danica Pension completely missed this memo, offering uncompetitive packages paired with awful customer experience. I asked a year ago to cancel my pension with them, and I am still in back and forth with their less than helpful team. It is an absolute joke of a company, and to be honest I am not surprised that this is the case coming from their parent company and their recent scandals.
Even after a year of back and forth to finally get an answer on this I now understand how much they want to charge me for their inflated admin fees.

Edit to reply to mediocre response: If you check your records my request to leave Danica predates January 2022, in fact this has been going on since 2020. I had to chase to get any basic level of information on the offboarding process, no information in this area was proactively provided to me on my initial request back 2020. As you confirm yourself it took two years to get the first offer. Any self respecting company would waive those disgusting inflated fees especially the longer you get to hold onto my money the more of a benefit it is to your business. Where are your morals?

Dear Anon

Thank you for your review.

I have noted that we sent you a disbursement offer in January 2022 after you decided to stop your Deposit with us. I don't see that you have answered this offer. In April 2023, we sent you a new disbursement offer, which I can also see is awaiting your reply. Our records do not show that we have been in a telephone or written dialogue with you during the period between the two offers.

I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with our service, including the fee charged for having your pension paid out or transferred to another pension provider. The fee covers our costs related to the administrative work to be carried out.

You are welcome to sign the offer and return it to us if you wish to complete the payout.

Regards
Rasmus

Pension payout takes months.

I requested a payout of my pension as I left Denmark. First it tools weeks to get the offer. Meanwhile I requested to be freed from PAL Skat as I was not sure if it might have any effect. After I received the offer, I sent multiple mails over three weeks to ask, if I should wait for the Skat approval or if it doesn't change anything about the offer. No response until I received the Skat letter. The offer was meanwhile outdated and I had to request again.
I had to proof my identity and address and this took forever. It all started end of January. Now, beginning of April, I still don't have my money. Danica is the worst.

Why can I compare this? My wife was at PFA. She requested, had the offer next day and the money not even a week later, without any approval of address and identity. It is a joke.

Edit: 19.04.2023
Nothing happened

Edit: 26.04.2023
Answer -> Do you really want me to pull out here, how often I asked you before signing that offer, if I should wait for answer of SKAT? Because I asked for weeks and did NEVER receive an answer. Otherwise you would have had the signed offer immediately.
You asked for proof of my identity why, hmm? I have a NemKonto and a company paid my pension, so don't tell me stories, you were slowing this down intentionally. I kept the communication up, asking ALWAYS for advice and your damn poor support made this thing a nightmare!

Also edit:
And should I also bring up what I had to do, to get my money? Pulling my former employer, the pension broker and every damn email address that I could find in a daily mail that says "Where is my damn money". I mean, fine.

Dear Daniel E

Thank you for your review.

Based on your email sent to trustpilot@danicapension.dk, I have reviewed your case. After your first enquiry on 24 January, we did send you a payout offer. You subsequently informed us that you are exempt from payment of pension returns tax. Further case processing was then required before we could correct your offer.

We also asked you to provide proof of identity in several stages, where you were informed that disbursement cannot take place until we have registered valid proof of identity. We received proof of identity on 28 February. Disbursement took place on 21 April 2023.

I admit that the time taken to deal with the case has been long. This is because the different processes are handled in different departments. We are constantly working to optimise our processes to ensure the fastest possible processing.

Awful Customer Service, Ridiculous Charges

The value of my pension reduced by 30k dkk whilst I was waiting for an adequate response to some pretty simple questions about the insurances they were charging me for.
I've now sold up and you can consider me a huge demoter of Danica Pension.

Dear Martin

Thank you for your review.

In the ongoing email correspondence we have answered your questions within a few days of receiving your emails.

The time elapsed between you having accepted our offer and Danica's administration has processed the matter is in accordance with our normal processing time for these cases.

We cannot detect a loss of return during the processing period of the magnitude you specify.

I want to give 0 star actually..

I want to give 0 star actually... They claim that they will give fast response to 3 days but you never get that. I had my 1 month new born baby who has severe rash on his face. My GP already gave the referral but due to the summer time I cannot get a skin specialist fast based on public insurance. So I turned to Danica Pension from my company. And after 1 week there is no response. So I called Danica Pension (btw they have no waiting number for their phonse service), and the lady in the phone said the doctors are on holiday that is the reason they cannot react to my ticket, even it is a new born baby... and also she said I need to upload a paper version of my GP's reference then MAYBE they can get a faster appointment. I have to go to my GP to get this paper printed version again. It really delays the treatment to the baby. Very disappointed. I called them I want to cancel my health insurance with Danica but they said I cannot.. because it is bounded to my company's package..

Dear Dan Wu

Thank you for your review.

We are of course sorry to hear about your experience.

Treatments by specialists will require referral from your own doctor in order to be able to use the children's health insurance, and this is also stated in our terms and conditions for the product. Unfortunately, we have no influence on the possible waiting time of general practitioners and medical specialists.

We understand your frustration and we always strive to try to provide our customers with the best and fastest treatment.

We therefore recommend that you follow the guidelines provided by our health team and contact them if you have any further questions.

Kind regards

Inadequate service and guidance

Took 1.5 months to get an appointment (called in november, got one in january 2022).
I called to hear options on securing my pension from the upcoming recession. I lost 7% then due to slow response from Danica. The consultant advised that I could change to 100% defensive, which sounds nice but still loses me thousands of DKK per month because its not defensive enough (I wanted to pull out of all positions). I wanted to take control over my pension strategy and invest on my own, yet that is only an option when you save up a million DKK (for some stupid reason).
So heres my complaints.
1. Horrible phone service with no approximate wait time and no possibility to be called back.
2. Slow or no responses to emails.
3. 100% "defensive" is not adequate for a recession (yes we are in one, I could have told you half a year ago)
4. Not possible to take control over MY money in MY pension, unless I have at least 1M DKK with Danica, because screw young/poor people?

Dear LJ

Thanks for your review.

The demand for meetings is generally high and unfortunately this gives rise to a little waiting time. We are currently setting up the number of advisers so that we can meet the increasing demand. If you need advice here and now, please contact our telephone advice on +45 70 11 25 25, which is open every weekday from 8.30 a.m. to 4.00pm.

Pension funds are generally a long-term investment. We therefore recommend that you maintain your investment profile instead of making hasty decisions. It is also important to remember that the unrest in 2022 will follow several strong detasors.

If you want to have a greater say in your investment, please take a look at Danica Link on our website at danicapension.dk and feel free to contact us for further information.

Kind regards

Can't get appointment booked

I've got the referral from my GP to s special doctor but I simply can't reach Danica pension to get an appointment. The telephone number I used to call 70220119 doesn't work anymore. When I call, it just ended. I called 70250203 today at 9:20 which should be their working hour, the answering machine says "due to training, their office close at 1pm..." and then hang up automatically. I tried afew other numbers on Google and all could not get through. There's no clear instructions on how to handle this request on there website. I've paid the insurance for more than ten years and now when I finally need it, it can't be reached.

Danica Pension managed to lose 15% of my pension savings over the pre-covid year during which all markets were massively going up. And on top of that they charged me a large fee for the service.
They give you the possibility to manage your own investments, but at a fee that i consider criminal.

Thank you for your review.

Danica Pension has recently sent many letters to our customers, as we have stated in many of our recent replies. Unfortunately this has created long waiting times when trying to contact us by the phone at certain times of the day.

We have allocated extra staff on handling and answering the written enquiries, so I encourage you to write to us via Danicapension.dk/skriv.

COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT! DO NOT TRUST YOUR MONEY WITH THESE PEOPLE

The worst experience I have ever had with a company. If there was 0 stars option I would choose it. They mixed up my wife’s and my accounts. Canceled my contributions without my knowledge. I only found out because my bank was going through my finances after I purchased an apartment. After I thought we had figured everything out and fixed it, six months later still nothing being contributed to my pension. When I called to sort it out again, the rep was extremely rude. I had to cancel everything. Do not trust this company. They are completely incompetent.

Low service on issues causing lack of interest on the pension

I was divested from one company to another last year and therefore my Pension was moved to Danica Pension, but since then there has been nothing but problems... At the moment they have received payments in both January and February for my pension, but the money is not on my account and they are therefore not invested as they should be and I cannot see them on the Net-pension view. I am told by the otherwise kind personnel, that it can take up to 25 days before they even start looking at what is the problem. Unfortunately the problem occurred in 2020 as well - are Danica benefiting themself of the interest i should have got? i am absolutely not impressed!

I am strongly considering ending my health insurance with Danica, which I have paid for for the past 1.5 years. Now, when I want to use it, I gave up after waiting on the phone for 1.5 hours (!), especially since it initially was said that would take more than 15 minutes. I guess that was quite an understatement. I hope that Danica would step up they customer service and perhaps would offer to call up, like other companies do, instead of having customers waiting on a line forever...

Useless health insurance

I am currently in line to talk to someone regarding use of my health insurance.
As I am writing the email I have been in line for 1 hour and 45 minutes!??

I was informed in the beginning of the call that it would take 15- 20 minutes before someone could help me.

It is always a struggle to get help from them and they have outsourced their medical provider which makes things even more of a hassle. Because now you also need to contact the medical care provider, and they are only interested in saving money and being super difficult in giving you the treatment you have a right to according to the terms!

I would never ever recommens this company to anyone!
