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
