Easy to use

Easy to log into once my employer changed our provider to Nest. Very easy to transfer other pensions in, and to make regular contributions.
Clear information.

Pros and cons

I like that I can add to my pension pot whenever I can. I like that I can deposit any amount of money, there is no set amount.
I don't like that I can't set up Nest as a beneficiary from my bank account.
I don't like that I can't pay from my phone, I have to use my laptop.
A tax certificate for the previous tax year should be available as soon as the tax year ends. I had to request one, a month after the end of the tax year. I was told it would take at least 10 days to prepare. 13 days later it still hasn't arrived in my inbox.
On the website the dashboard information about contributions, is the total amount of contributions since the start of the account. I would like there to be another graphic (like the total one) of the current tax year.

Every now and then I get 3 messages…

Every now and then I get 3 messages that a code was requested to unlock my account, but not being me the one to request. So the next day I tried to log into my account and I couldn’t due to too many attempts, however I have not tried to access my account for quite a while. Then I was sent a code to enter so my account can be unlocked which did not work for the first 2 attempts. This has happened previously and I rang Nest and the situation was resolved.

It's very easy to top up

It's very easy to top up my pension monthly on pay day by standing order, so I don't even miss it. It has helped the pot grow a surprising amount and well worth doing. I'm pleased with its growth with Nest.
