It's not fast but nothing fast would happen in the UK, so it's normal. I chased up regarding the transfer process once as I heard nothing after my application. Then I was told that the policy number i... See more

I made an additional payment last financial year in plenty of time. However. You delayed applying it to my account until this financial year, so I have lost out on the tax advantage that I needed tot utilise. Not happy
edited to add:
So after receiving the reply below, I have been on the phone to customer services now for some time. It is a case where the "team" who are responsible for processing my payment do not speak to anyone on the phone, so I have had to communicate via a CS rep.
The facts are: I made a request on Monday 23rd March for an additional payment to go into my Nest Pension.
On the NEST dashboard, a letter has been added dated 2nd April (11 days later) which states they intend to take the money on 8th April.
That is a full 17 days after my request.
I already have a direct debit set up into my NEST account.
There is no notice to tell you how long it will take for a payment to be processed, or if there is a quicker way to do this.
The "team" now say that they process requests within 6 days. Not in my case they don't!
I am now out of pocket because they did not process my request before the end of the financial year.
I have asked for that to be rectified and there is a cool response from the "team" who do not think they have done anything wrong.
So much for the "concerned reply" to my initial review!
this is now being escalated as a complaint. Let's see how that is managed. It will take them about 14 working days in total to look at this situation.

Never had any problems at all. Sometimes I’ve had to cancel the payments, and then re start when I can
Communication is very good.

It all worked well till I lost a job two months ago, now I’m working I will contact you to continue with my payments.

The website is all very user friendly
However, the investment options could be better. I'd like to see an option for a non managed global index fund with significantly reduced fees.

I’ve been with Nest since 2019 and my experience has been excellent. Recently, they helped me transfer my pension savings from two previous employers, and the whole process was smooth, straightforward, and completed successfully.
I’m now self-employed and have continued paying into my Nest pension because I trust them. Everything is easy to manage, and I’ve always felt well looked after as a customer.
I’d definitely recommend Nest to anyone thinking about their future and wanting a reliable pension provider. Looking after your pension may not seem important today, but you’ll be glad you started when the time comes. Thank you, Nest!

I've been a Nest member since 2021, and my experience has been very positive. Making contributions, including recent top-ups, has been straightforward and hassle-free. The online account is easy to use, and I appreciate being able to keep track of my pension savings. Overall, Nest has provided a reliable and simple pension service, and I'm happy with the experience so far. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-manage workplace pension.
