Beyond disgusted with this pathetic company!

The sheer level of incompetence of this company is hard to believe or understand. We needed a managed plan for 2 people. The process began in Oct/Nov of 2022. The new managed plan was opened in Feb/March 2023. The rollover from the original 401K finally happened in mid Nov 2023. Everything was set up incorrectly from the start and here we are basically 2 weeks before the end of the year and I am still be asked for new documents to finish the process even though I have had innumerable calls and discussions with multiple people at Ubiquity over the last 10 months. Dealing with this company is beyond frustrating and you would do yourself a big favor by heeding this review and others like it and avoid this company at all costs.

I don't even know where to begin

I don't even know where to begin. Each issue takes 3-4 calls and at least 4 emails. The transfer of over $300,000 was to have been taken place 4 weeks ago and they removed the funds and never wired to my new provider. 3 days and 6 calls, 5 emails later they make the wire with no explanation. DO NOT USE the worst company!

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we worked through the issues you experienced with the transfer of your funds. Although your case has since been resolved, we regret the frustration and inconvenience you faced during this process. The challenges you encountered, requiring multiple calls and emails for resolution, do not reflect the seamless and efficient experience we aim to provide to all our clients.

Questions about Security

My reason for calling Ubiquity was to address security concerns. I spoke with Eva Castillo. She addressed my concerns with a degree of specificity that I never expected. She explained in detail how and why my funds were secure. Ubiquity hires top notch people and then obviously provides them with a considerable amount of training. This is the second time I've called Ubiquity, and I have gotten superior service each time. My employer selected Ubiquity to administer their 401(k) plan, and I couldn't be happier that they did! Great company, great people!!!

Top performance as usual

Any time I've talked with Ubiquity it was a smooth call. They have great skills in communication, friendly, and knowledgeable. This call was no different but Eva made the experience even better. She is a great asset to the company.

Professional service and organization

I just processed a roll over.
Eva was on the phone with my advisor and myself as we processed the transaction. She was very nice, professional and courteous. Everything went smoothly and efficiently.
Thank you!

Excellent customer service…

Today I called into Customer Service and got some great assistance from Christopher Holden. Ubiquity and my payroll provider are now in sync! He helped me understand the great news communicated in too much detail in a prior email. He also helped me learn how to make an off cycle contribution for myself. Such great assistance!!

For small business I don’t recommend

Lack of guidance by this company. I have been trying to cancel out of ubiquity for months. I paid the $1000 to get out and from there it seemed like they would force out the employees. They sent me the funds from my own but held the on to scraps so that they could keep charging me $400. The interface is not informative. Not sure any other reason they would have it that way other than to keep charging me.
There’s 3-4 of their departments to put the blame on so it’s confusing. I do wish I could get my money back it feels like a giant mistake.

I had a lot of contact with the people Darla Fulmer and Chris Billman

I had a lot of contact with the people of Ubiquity about the 401K-plan. As I'm from Belgium, it's not always to understand everything because we don't know such a plan. The help of both Darla Fulmer and Chris Billman is so much appreciated. They've both tried to give me as much information as possible for me to understand everything. Their help was worth as gold and is really appreciated.
