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.

Thank you for your review.

We take feedback extremely seriously, however we have been unable to identify any interaction with a customer matching the details described here.

Pense is an FCA regulated financial advice firm and we maintain full records of all enquiries, calls and advice conversations. After reviewing our records we have not been able to locate any enquiry or interaction that corresponds with this review.

For clarity, we do not charge customers simply for making an enquiry or discussing their options. A fee is only payable if a customer chooses to proceed with a formal recommendation, and all charges are clearly explained and agreed upfront before any advice is provided.

We have asked Trustpilot to contact the reviewer so that they can provide further information and allow us to investigate properly, however we have not yet received any details that enable us to verify the experience described.

We are proud of the transparent and competitive charging structure we offer and would encourage anyone considering our service to review the feedback from other customers who have used Pense.

If the reviewer has genuinely interacted with us, we would welcome the opportunity to investigate and resolve any concerns directly.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
