Limited pension flexibility, slow transfer, but Prudential stayed communicative throughout

Disappointed to discover I had to transfer my 2 pension plans away from one of the largest pension providers because my plans did not allow me to draw-down. The transfer process then took almost 2 months which I felt was held up partly by the processes that Prudential have in place. Having said that Prudential were communicative and professional throughout.

A good experience overall

Although the initial contact required more than one phone call, once through to the correct team the experience was fine. The person I dealt with was very helpful and the whole process was completed in the timeframe given.

Unhappy client experience

Staff here are experts in their products (one hopes) but they don't communicate well with their non-expert clients.
