Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 117 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, frequently highlighting the excellent service and professional, yet friendly, staff. Customers consistently praise the detailed and easy-to-understand advice, which is tailored to individual needs and delivered with speed and efficiency. The company's communication, including regular updates and quick responses to queries, is also highly valued, making complex financial processes feel smooth and stress-free. However, some customers mentioned issues with communication, noting that replies were slow or that different agents were not aware of previous discussions, leading to repetitive questioning. A few other people also felt that they received endless calls, texts, and emails, which they found off-putting.

I recently used Pense for my Personal Pension advice and for setting up an annuity, I can highly recommend them after the efficient process from the initial advice I received from Kirk and all the help from Amber and the team in arranging my annuity, all the communications are clear and easy to understand they deserve many more than 5 stars!

Very good company

Company was very easy to deal with and explained everything in detail. From the initial discussions with James Allott to the expert handling of the process by Amber Garner. Very impressed with this company and would have no hesitation in recommending them for their speed and efficiency.
Great job James and Amber, Thank you.

Setting up a Fixed Term Annuity

A very helpful and pleasant experience from Pense and especially Caroline and Amber who steered me through this process in a very orderly fashion. Some of my pensions companies (NEST and The People's Pension in particular) were incredibly onerous and drawn out but Amber was in constant contact with them and me to ensure the annuity came through in a timely way. Very polite, friendly and with great knowledge I felt that the service I received from Pense was open, honest and informed and I would highly recommend them. Thanks.

A very big thank you to Pence and a especial mention about Amber one of the few people I know that care about you and that every thing is done as it should be. First class service through out the process of my pension transfer. All the best to the whole pence team.

Pension Transfer & 25% tax free withdrawl

After speaking briefly with Pensionwise, they put me in touch with Pense who contacted me very promptly. I admit to being a little wary regarding pension scams but persisted with Pense who turned out to be excellent, providing a great service.
After initial consultation with Kirk I was then supported by Amber who kept me updated very well as to the current status of the pension move I was doing. The whole thing went very smoothly with money transfers without a hitch. I recieved great advice and will be using Pense again for future Pension consultancy.

All good pension advice

Pense provided clear information on deciding what to do with my pension. Helpful, efficient, & friendly service and have now cashed it in. Easier than I thought!

First class service from Pense in arranging my annuity. Excellent commucations. Would strongly recommend this company.

Pense did an outstanding job in sorting out my pension, finding me an excellent lifetime annuity rate, which resulted in a lump sum and monthly income that were both significantly higher than I was expecting.
Special mention to both Amber Garner and Russell Flannery. Russell thoroughly explained my options and obtained my annuity. Amber was absolutely brilliant at chasing things up and keeping me regularly informed at every stage of the process.
I would strongly recommend this company.

Great Company

Right from the start both Kirk and Amber were brilliant. Kirk explained everything to me in simple terms and Amber kept me updated all the time. I cannot fault them or the company. They were very professional and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend PENSE to anybody and everybody.

Exceptional service.....

The team at Pense could not have given me any greater service than they did when cashing in and reinvesting my pension pot.
My personal advisor, Kirk Yeomans, was very informative about my various options and clearly had my best interest in mind. I also can't praise Amber Garner highly enough, every time she said she would email or telephone me she did and exactly on time. Amber kept me up to speed every Friday with an update.
Totally first class old fashioned personal service, very rare!

Excellent service whilst buying annuity

A pain free process to arrange my annuity right from the initial conversation with Russell Flannery and decision making as to which option to take through to the excellent administration by Amber who kept me up to date with the process from start to finish. I’m a very satisfied customer.
