As I've come closer to retirement I've spent a lot more time thinking about who is looking after my money...after all it's there to provide me with security for my older years. I have come to trust aviva. Simple information and performance that seems in line with the market. Reviewed on: 15th December 2015

Stakeholder Pension with Aviva experience

4
I started a pension via Aviva through my workplace whom chose Aviva for their low charge Stakeholder Pension with lifestyle options. I have now contributed for the past three years directly from my Pay and I can simply log in via Aviva website to check on my latest Statement. A few times I required further information regarding my plan I have wrote to customer services via e-mail or instant chat and have always received a fast and useful response to my question. Overall a very simple and easy set up , friendly and with low management charges is perfec for me. Reviewed on: 6th November 2015
