Review of the Aegon, Pension:

They can't find my registered letter

Well here we go again. This is the third review I writen with in the last two weeks. I've been trying to withdraw my pension fund and the nonsense I've had to go through is pathetic. This company is absolutely useless. I had to send bank statements along other things I've had to do. Now they can't find the registered letter I sent. I sent them one before this one and they received it on time. This one they can't seem to find. Oddly enough it's the important one with my bank statement which they need to pay my money into my bank. It seems they are determined to stall my payment for as long as they can either that or they're completely incompetent. It would take me the full day to write it out what's went on trying g to get my money from these jokers. I'll be writing more reviews shortly. Give these clowns a body swerve stay well away and go somewhere else with your money Reviewed on: 5th June 2023

Terrible online portal, takes about 3-4 minutes to load, and even then often fails to load the pension scheme. Adding a new employee to a pension scheme is ridiculous, and involves manually creating a spreadsheet file and then attempting to upload and manually map it, and again this often takes multiple attempts and is anything but simple. After much waiting on to chat to customer support, it's clear that Aegon know they have issues and that the online portal has been running and slow for weeks, but they have no timeframe in which they expect a resolution. If you are looking for a pension scheme provider, I highly recommend looking for one that actually has an online portal that works. Aegon this is just not good enough. By way of comparison, to sign in to Nest Pensions takes seconds, to add a new employee takes under 1 minute and can be done on screen, their phone support is brilliant and they offer actual integrations with payroll software like BrightPay.

Stay clear of dealing with this company

Slow company to do anything, make promises they never keep and have appalling customer service and send out misleading documentation Reviewed on: 14th January 2025

Been with Aegon over 15 years.

Been with Aegon over 15 years. Put one of my pension funds elsewhere recently. It has made more in one month than Aegon in over 15 years. Aegon lost over 13000 pounds in that period. New company made 1500 pounds in one month. Enough said. Reviewed on: 4th December 2024

Taking incompetence and ineptitude to levels I previously thought not possible. The utter disdain they have shown me, failing to follow basic instructions, not replying to emails and do everything in their capabilities to prevent access to withdrawals. I was only cashing a small pot pension which has now taken over 3 months and still hasn’t been completed. but will now be transferring my remaining accounts away from the business despite their undoubted best efforts at frustrating the process.

Appalling service ,

Appalling service ,husband been trying to get his pension and some draw down since December. Complain made and the sent £150 to his account to apologise and uphold his complaint. Now say they can’t confirm his account ( which thé have paid into ) therefore can’t send his money . Interest list in the period December to now is approx £800 . They are profiting from his money. As he has had major heart surgery and TIÀs this is causing extreme stress. Reviewed on: 5th November 2024
