Hargreaves Lansdown Pension reviews (30)

Fund and Share Account is excellent value

5
Web interface isn't the nicest, although nothing bad about it. Staff on the telephone are British and efficient at answering queries. Top marks to HL for welcome payments for transferring in Dealing accounts and SIPPs. £3500 received, so we'll happily stay with you for a while despite the £11.95 dealing fee and £200/yr standing charge. Note that the Fund and Share Account hs no standing charge for holding shares/IT/ETF/Bonds. Reviewed on: 18th July 2023

Great SIPP

5
Very easy and quick opening the product and investing in some of the many funds available on the platform. And it gets an additional 20% from HMRC! Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

Useful all in one service

5
Easy to set up SIPP account. Plenty of investment advice. Platform fees a little higher than some but offset by no ETF trading fees and lower ETF charges than on other platforms. Useful savings account comparison and opening service. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Expensive

4
To be fair to HL their service tends to be good. You can call them and speak to them. But I have from time to time been given wrong information when I have messaged them. If they cut their forex charges for international shares they would be better value for money. I won‘t use their international dealing until they do this. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

No nonsense customer orientated large firm

4
I know I need to read their share reports - not HL's fault that I'm lax there. Regret never received a reward* e.g. for introducing a valued client (now deceased) earlier this century - neither financial nor even a pen set. *Excluding loyalty bonus(es). Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Simple and accessible

The app makes it so easy to quickly manage money, view your investments and top up as needed. It’s put my retirement savings at the forefront of my daily scrolling! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
