Review of the Aviva, Pension:

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

My husband has had a terrible experience with this outfit who are completely incompetent and unprofessional. Its taken over six months for him to get his tax free pension, he has spent hours on the phone, they kept promising to call back and it never happened, he had misinformation and had to repeatedly send through the same information, completely incompetent and then after he formally complained and rhey said they would look into it, finally came back and said it was due to third party advice!!! Really??? Taking no ownership for a completely incompetent service!! Reviewed on: 10th November 2024

Horrible waste of time when it comes to deceased

Don't believe these reviews. If you have a relative that passed away in a different country just know you will be months back and forward. They don't remember to process your case until you email them then they ask for more information. You couldn't ask that before I emailed? and this happened numerous times. Hopefully this process will be over soon. If he was alive I would tell him to run. Other pension schemes he had just needed our mom documents (without JP) and her bank account. Their usual sentences "its with our trustees", "they need to verify documents", "oh we couldn't contact the JP" all of this weeks and months in between. Only because we knew our brother thought pensions were a scam I am helping my mom fight for HIS money THAT HE WORKED HARD FOR. Reviewed on: 7th November 2024

Consistently incompetent

Wrongly invested my pension. Continually sent wrong documents. Compensation cheques never arrived. My pension was woth the Pru, who were excellent. Aviva took them over and have been consistently incompetent. Use at your own risk Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024

Brilliant customer service. Reasonable charges. Excellent website and app with many functions. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Completely hopeless at giving you your money

I have been trying to withdraw a tax free lump sum for 3 months, it is supposed to take 7 days to get a quote and then 5 days to get the cash. I still don't even have a quote. The contact centre are very friendly and try to be helpful but the payments team seem completely incompetent and unhelpful. It is stunning that they cant seem to talk to each other.
