The professionalism and attitude of IPF staff are what make it shine! ! Following from the recommendation of a colleague and friend, I took out an AVC with Dylan Maher. In addition to Dylan's positive manner and attitude, he demonstrated excellent professional skills in his follow-up and very comprehensive explanations of the advantages and disadvantages of particular AVC products. Dylan was also able to offer very accessible advice on other investment products which made for integrated wrap-around retirement planning. He was always reachable and prompt in his support for some of my follow-on queries His colleagues in the company were equally professional in furnishing documentation at all relevant steps of the process. I have recommended the company to a number of my friends and co-workers.
Costs for the fund are extortion, Zurich only take one third the yearly fee charged by IP and F. Promised there would be a review within 12 months, no efforts made to engage for said review. A letter was sent informing me that more money would be taken out of my salary without the courtesy of requesting my approval. All round dreadful experience with IPF.
Over the past 10 years Tom Corcoran has provided excellent advice and guidance on managing past and future pension policy requirements. Always responsive and a pleasure to deal with
I have always had a complete block when it comes to anything pension related. Yasmin made my own personal pension situation really clear to me for the first time ever on our call! Catherine then followed up and I'm now set up with an AVC and feeling confident about my future. Would definitely recommend their services and I have to many colleagues!
The information and assistance provided by Jeff and his colleagues in relation to setting up, and the annual review of my AVC has been invaluable to me. I would highly recommend Irish Pensions & Finance for their expertise and very friendly service.
Staff member was knowledgeable however I did feel a little pushed into making a decision to sign up to the offer which put me off in the end.
I had an online meeting with Shane Towey, he explained the process of setting up an AVC, put the calculation together for me and we discussed affordability and it helped me to make the right decision for me.
IPF were great in setting up AVC with me. Extremely helpful and explained everything in great detail. They went through each step one by one and I never felt lost. They were flexible in setting up a consultation and this made the process very smooth. I would highly recommend.
Dean was really helpful, explained everything to me really clearly and simply. Gave me great advice, completely honest and steered me in the right direction.
Robert provided such clarity and had a kind approach. Didnt oversell and I felt at ease with him. He set it all up immediately so there was no time wasting and he was really practical. Loved his approach.
I have been relying on Irish Pensions and Finance (in particular Rebecca Cox) for over 4 years now for advice regarding; my pension and income protection. They always make sure to follow up with me to see how things are going and for updated advice and guidance. At all times things are explained so clearly in a way that I understand. They have helped me plan for my future in a way I would not have been able to do on my own without their guidance.
I really appreciate their service and advice!!! Would highly recommend!!!
Thank you Irish Pensions & Finance, thank you Rebecca!!
I set up AVC's and Income Protection following discussions with IPF. Extremely helpful, including around the level of investment risk for AVC.
Dealt with Rhys recently and he was very good. Gave me all the information I needed in relation to my pension when I retire.
I've been dealing with IPF for many years now, and I have always found them to be excellent. Most recently, Katie Doyle has been managing my file. Over the past 18 months or so, she has provided excellent and appropriate advice on my AVC, and retirement, which has enabled me to make good choices and to maximise my tax-relief benefit. Katie, and IPF, are always available to me to discuss any changes; they are very professional, thorough, and trustworthy.
Reliable, informative, helpful & easy to get in touch with.
Dealt with Neil, nothing was a problem, explained everything thoroughly and made sure I understood same
Nishtha Khanna contacted me to review my AVC. I have been advised by Nishtha several times and have found her to be professional, knowledgeable and very helpful, particularly in a situation where I started late in planning for retirement.
I had great experience with Irish Pensions and Finance with Katie and she really went to great lengths to ensure I got the best advice and also understood everything. I have already recommended this company to friends and will continue to do so
