Danielle Lewis went above and beyond to help.

I have a client whose circumstances have changed and who now needs to access funds as quickly as possible. A fund merger has unfortunately caused delays, but I could clearly tell that Danelle immediately understood the situation and genuinely empathised with the real-life impact on the client.

She tried everything she could think of to support the case and clearly cared about getting the best possible outcome. Her effort, understanding and professionalism were very much appreciated.

Thank you, Danielle and wider Utmost teams.

After Utmost took over the company…

After Utmost took over the company holding my investment, the service took a serious turn for the worse. There were a couple of mistakes in transferring monies into the wrong currencies early on and more difficulty in getting in contact to get information. In the end, however, they did make good on the losses incurred by their mistakes.

Getting information about surrender penalty charges and the ongoing charges after penalties was difficult. This is partly my fault for not understanding that they were going to continue charging me for "managing" parts of the policy that had been surrendered in full - I should have looked at the small print! However, the information that they sent via my financial advisor had fee lines that had different descriptions from the lines in my statements making it difficult to follow!

My main take-away is to check the small print, and in this case, it would have been better to open separate investment instruments rather than topping up a single one, as that would have allowed me to have closed each down and stop incurring fees

Dear Rowan,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - feedback is important to us. We are sorry to hear you have had difficulty getting the information you need on your policy. Should we be able to support on any current or future inquiry please reach out at relationshipmanagement@utmostgroup.com and we will be happy to assist.

With regards to the charges linked to the policy - these would have been outlined in the policy terms and conditions that you should have received, via your financial advisor at policy outset. If any of these are unclear we will be happy to discuss.

MFA causing problems

I am not at all happy that I now have to use an Authenticator app to access my bond. I cannot find how to use this and your website merely asks to click the app below when there isn’t one!
Your staff are extremely helpful but I am disappointed that I now have to either phone or email each month to get a current valuation .
