Review of the Aegon, Pension:

Great Value

I joined Aegon six years ago and have been very impressed with the performance of my pension since I joined them. Reviewed on: 15th January 2022

After Aquiring Scottish Amicable these people have thus far mislaid my Pension due to numerous changes of address. Despite sending proof of ID and Address they still are not helping with the Balancing Statement. Reviewed on: 12th September 2024

Impossible to get hold off.

Impossible to get hold off. Do not respond to emails, calls or thru their online customer login secure email! What a disgrace. Cannot wait to get my money away from this company. Reviewed on: 19th July 2024

zero customer service

It's impossible to contact this company. I have my pension fund with them and need to ask some questions but just can't get hold of them. Tried the online chat endlessly and they just keep you waiting then disconnect you Reviewed on: 17th July 2024

Deliberately poor customer service; emails - no response; web chats wait multiple times for minimum 15 mins, no actual queue, then they said they can't do xyz send you to somewhere else; call the right number eventually, put me on permanent hold to close the account. Reviewed on: 10th June 2024

not customer friendly, it is purely about the interest rate, if the customer wants to pay something off, they will ask a lot of questions, how do you get the money... discrimination, if changes are to the customer's advantage, never inform the customer, if the customer calls Aegon to ask a question, Aegon asks money to answer your question is, in short, disgusting...etc Reviewed on: 28th May 2024

Do not use Aegon for your pension funds, advised they had paid my 25% tax free into my bank, kept checking bank account and not there, checked with bank and they advised no pending transactions from Aegon, now have to wait more business days for it to be investigated, so unprofessional this organisation Reviewed on: 13th May 2024

Fund Went from 34000 to 19000 and has only recovered to 21000 ( have paid in nearly 29000) supposedly in the low risk fund.. Still charging me of course for their expert advice. Had I just banked it would have 40000 instead of 21000. Reviewed on: 29th February 2024

Aegon has to be,one of the worst preforming pension companies. If you want to loose money invest it in Aegon pension. My workplace pension is,with them and is loosing money each day. I have asked AEGON for help but they aren't interested. I have been with them for 1 year and hVe losted 8% I'm now waiting 2 weeks for forms to opt out Reviewed on: 28th February 2024
