Review of the Aviva, Pension:

Poor performance and playing on fancy web site

Aviva have lost over 25 percent of my pension in two years and predict more. Throwing good money after bad they still tske same fees I’m moving adap Reviewed on: 28th August 2022

Shameful service and company

I’ve been waiting for 2 months to get my policies paid out. I received an email 2 days ago saying that the one policy has decreased in value by 37%. Still no payout. Customer agents don’t tell the truth. Polite but untruthful. Can’t believe anything they tell you. So utterly useless. I have no words left. Reviewed on: 16th April 2024

Aviva , Amatures when it comes to Penisons !

I transferred my pension from Aviva because I just couldn’t take anymore of their sheer incompetence. They may well receive good r3views on insurance , as this is much more their expertise , as for Pensions , they are merely in a training room when dealing with Administrating your pension . It takes ages to explain exactly what you would like from the call , then transferred all over the place ! Then it can take anything up to 1 month for a basic fund switch ! Aviva need to get their act together, people lose money inbetween investing. Very Poor indeed ! Reviewed on: 18th March 2024

If you want to be lied to and misinformed then Aviva...

Good pension product

I have had a pension with Aviva for over 15 years. Easy online access to check on pension performance, make additional contributions and even make an UFPLS wiithdrawal. I thoroughly recommend Aviva pensions. Reviewed on: 3rd March 2024

Aviva fund genocide

I have a company pension with Aviva but I'm very upset they invest in and support the genocide in Palestine where living people are being run over in bulldozers and people literally starving to death are being shot while they wait for a bag of flour. I wrote and complained to them about this and they didn't even both to contact me back at all. Reviewed on: 29th February 2024

Had an old pension with Aviva - was only worth 3k.

Had an old pension with Aviva - was only worth 3k. Applied to lift the money in October 2023 and I'm still waiting. Correspondence has been terrible. I would honestly never recommend them to anyone! Next step is the Financial Ombudsman office. Reviewed on: 18th January 2024
