Very pleasant experience
I spoke to a Lee Connor who was very polite, very clear information. Graphs were useful in helping me understand how the fund has grown over the years.

Very helpful and likeable financial advisor
Old Fashioned Company stuck in the last century
Absolutely disgusting customer service. Spoke to them three different times and was told three different stories. One Agent actually hung up on me. It took 30 business days (6 weeks) for them to issue a check. I was told the date it was mailed and two weeks later I still haven’t received it. In the 21st century, there is no reason to be sending out checks. Electronic deposits are now the norm. I’m not surprised how dismissive they are of their customers. I contacted the CEO and he didn’t even have the courtesy to respond. After 51 years with them, I can say from experience avoid this organisation at all costs.
Definitely recommend
Amazingly helpful and genuinely so kind! Thank you so much

Lee Connors 5*
Lee Connors has provided me with excellent customer service and support since my account matured when I was 18. He has continually gone above and beyond for me.
Happy to recommend to friends and family
Foresters were recommended to me by a friend and I would not hesitate to recommend Foresters. Antonio our advisor is easy to contact and we get responses asap. He makes sure we understand everything before we make any decisions.
Foresters Financial
Cheryl Phillips was professional and friendly throughout this session of financial advisement. She confidently ran through all of the options available to me and helped me to find my best choices. I look forward to meeting with her again as she was incredibly helpful and a great representative of Foresters Financial.
Lee Connor - clear, calm and thorough information
Lee explained everything clearly and calmly. He checked our understanding throughout and we were fully armed with clear information to make an informed decision about the right product to choose. This was a critical part of planning for the future. It was possibly the most important thing that we will achieve this year. Thank you Lee.

I’ve had a really positive experience with Foresters Financial. All of the staff I dealt with were professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which made the whole process feel easy and reassuring. In particular, Gary was outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and a pleasure to work with. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt confident every step of the way.
What really stands out about Foresters Financial is the strong morals and values behind the company. It’s clear they genuinely care about their members and operate with integrity, which makes a huge difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a financial organisation they can truly trust.
