My request was dealt with efficiently and quickly
I had problems accessing my account but telephone calls sorted it and then it was very straight forward. The text message came saying the process had started but did not get any more. Overall it was fine and the investment itself excellent.
Easy to use on line process, good communication and timely response.
Very poor customer service. Makes every transaction very difficult to do? Even when you want to pay in money. Everything seems to be paper based. Customer service couldn’t answer simple questions and so asked me to send a physical letter to an address to get the answer to a very basic question about business pension. Very outdated company that operate a complicated and arduous customer experience making it difficult to manage your pension. As a result I’m changing provider to one that easily lets me manage my pension online (once I’ve gone through the crazy amount of bureaucracy and reams of paper to release my funds!).

Everything was dealt with very efficiently & much more smoothly than I expected.
Unfortunately there is no rating below 1 star - if there were I would use it. Woeful incompetent service. Admin staff of lowest call centre calibre who appear untrained with little understanding of what they are doing, given the info sent to me. Almost 2 weeks ago, I requested a fund switch to cash. No action whatsoever on their part to this request, (apart from sending me twice irrelevant information which I did not ask for and not sending me information I did request!). Wasting policy holders' monies through fund costs covering such incompetence, is hardly value for money! My fund switch should have been processed at the day's price if requested by midday (or the next working day if later) and should fully settle within standard market time frames (typically a few working days). It is a standard fund and not a PruFund. I have not even had a substantive response to my request and it is now almost 2 weeks, and my fund is losing value. Prudential governance requirements requires fair treatment of customers. I am not experiencing fair treatment and Prudential is failing to meet its legal and regulatory obligations to protect me, as a consumer. Immense frustration, stress and significant time incurred in unsuccessful (to date) attempts to get action - this is not acceptable and needs to be challenged.

I’ve used the service several times so it was straightforward.
Making a partial withdrawal from my Personal Pension, I called the Pru on 18 Sept 2026 early in the afternoon to ascertain when I could expect to receive my funds.
A pleasant young lady informed me that had I called prior to midday, I would have received my funds by close of business via CHAPS. I was then informed that it would therefore DEFINITELY be 21 Sept 2026.
As nothing had arrived in my bank account by the afternoon, I called and was informed by another gentlemen that yes, I would DEFINITELY be in receipt of said funds by close of play.
Play closed and still no funds. I therefore called again this morning (22 Sept 2026) only to be told that BOTH people I had spoken to had given me incorrect information and worse still, that I would have to wait another day and would DEFINITELY receive them on 23 Sept 2026.
Incensed by this woeful level of service, I demanded to speak to a manager however, none were available. I was assured I would get a call from a manager by close of play however, that was over 5 hours since my earlier and I've not heard anything.
I was told that even if a manager called me, it was highly unlikely that he could do anything to help.
Who knows, maybe a manager will call me later today however, given I've been fed incorrect information on two separate occasions already, I'm afraid I'll take anything I'm told with a pinch of salt.
Some very serious training needs here.
