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 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

Annuity

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 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.

CHANGED my pension provider with ease

I had an issue with my company pension that I was about to start claiming. It was not what I had signed up for and it no longer met my requirements at the point of retirement. The process of talking to the adviser and working out my options was very stress free. The result was just right for me, my wife and family

An excellent company & lovely staff.

I received very good advice & an excellent service. Everyone was very pleasant to deal with, they kept in constant contact keeping me up to date with progress. Even after the pension payments were completed they went above & beyond getting me compensation for a pension provider being too slow to pay out. I would not hesitate to recommend Pense.

A reliable efficient service

I set up an annuity through Pense. They communicated quickly and efficiently throughout the relatively lengthy annuity process and they went the extra mile to secure the best offer for me. An early paperwork error was quickly rectified and the entire team is very customer focused. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
