Pension Annuity
Used Pense twice now for both the small pensions I have. Kirk was excellent and explained everything so even i could understand.
Both went very smoothly with no hiccups in double quick time too.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pense. All the staff are incredibly efficient and kept me informed
weekly throughout the process.
All in all excellent service, I would highly recommend.

I’ve been very impressed with Pense…
I’ve been very impressed with Pense from my initial contact and subsequent interactions. The staff have been wonderful, pleasant supportive and professional. Any questions or information requests were dealt with promptly and efficiently.
Friendly knowledgeable team and professional service
Friendly knowledgeable team that offer a professional service. Initial consultation was friendly and helpful, reviewing my options and agreeing the way forward. They were then able to secure an annuity quote above my expectations and then followed through getting the policy in place and the funds transfer in in a very professional and timely manner. Regular updates on progress all the way through and very happy with the end result.

From the very first phone call chat about what was best for my personal circumstances to the very last details the service was the best I've ever had
Thank you
Pense is the way to go.
Since I started dealing with Pense arranging my Annuity policy, I have found the team very capable and fairly quick at dealing with any issues that arose. The girls Chloe,Amber, Lauren and Liv have all been very helpful and kept in contact regularly with me during the transfer process. I would highly recommend Pense to sort your pension out
Great Experience.
Pense was recommended to me and I'm so glad they were, Ross talked me through the whole process in detail and made sure i understood everything. His telephone manner is excellent and made me feel relaxed and confident that i was doing the right thing. Moving my life savings was a huge thing for me but Ross made it easy and worry free. It's also good to know that he is there at the end of the phone if i need him.
I would also like to thank Lauren too for confirming that everything is in order and ensuring that i am happy with the service they have provided. I highly recommend, they are a great team.

Not rushed into committing
As someone very new to pensions and completely bamboozled by what was available, the guidance, knowledge and support from both financial advisors Ross and Kirk, and great follow up and attention from Amber and Lauren was exemplary. The detailed choices were carefully explained (and more than once!) I did not feel rushed and I was not pushed into anything I did not understand. Pense certainly made something that I was dreading starting much smoother than I imagined, and I would highly recommend (in fact I already have!)
A very Pleasant experience dealing with Pense
When dealing with Pense they were very professional and the advice they gave was very good at no point did i ever feel pressured into making a decision. Pense were dealing with my pension company who were taking so long in getting the information to Pense. They kept me updated regularly on why it was going so slow. Once all the money had changed hands and i thought all was done i got an email from Pense saying that they had raised a complaint about how slow it went and my Pension provider said they would send me £100 in way of a compensation. I thought that was very god as i never asked them to do this. I would use Pense again and i would recommend them to any body
Genuine, honest and professional service provided.
Pence were extremely helpful, professional and tenacious about sorting out a problem I had. Staff at pence put a lot of effort into that and went above and beyond. I cannot praise them enough.
Pense were a great company to work…
Pense were a great company to work with. They communicate extremely well. Almost daily communication with their admin team. I did experience issues with some of my pension companies and they were great in helping with advice and guidance on how to deal with them. Their advisers speak in a language anyone would understand. I highly recommend Pense
Annuity
I found James, Lauren, Chloe and Katie very professional, experienced and friendly.
The whole process went very well and I was particularly grateful for the regular updates Lauren gave.
I would highly recommend this service - great value for money.

Excellent service!
I was very happy with the service that I received from Pense, from start to finish they provided me with a very professional service, in setting up my annuity. My advisor Kirk and the admin team were a pleasure to deal with, making the transition from my pension as smooth as possible.
Great service! Fantastic team!
From the initial contact to the team that kept me informed every step of the way, Pense were a delight to deal with. I would recommend them with no hesitation.

Efficiency
My account manager and all staff I have been in contact with at Pense, have been efficient and professional. I was kept informed at each stage of the process.
Penske explained the process really…
Penske explained the process really well, and sent all the paperwork for me to fill out really quickly. While the paperwork was being processed they kept me well informed, and answered any questions I had in a timely and thorough manner. Once my pension was paid out they made sure all the paperwork was delivered to me. I can’t recommend them enough.

Second time used, process made easy , kept up to date of all progress, simple and easy to get through, would definitely recommend , thanks to russell, lauren and all i dealt with through the process.
