Review of the Royal London, Pension:

Excellent life insurance benefit

Provides excellent life insurance benefits within the pension scheme if your unlucky enough to die whilst in service. This part was paid out quickly and efficiently. However, with the pension itself I was waiting and having to send excessive information. They did sort this out in the end though. Reviewed on: 20th May 2024

Great pension product

I have my pension with Royal London. The literature is all easy to understand and the investment has grown really well. Charges are low and because they are a mutual they have started paying me profit share each year which boosts the value of my pension. Financial advisers tell me they are one of the best around for value for money and service. Reviewed on: 29th June 2018

Pension fund portfolio

WEALTH WARNING!! WEALTH WARNING!! Was told that portfolio 7 had very good statistical returns over the years and trusted my pension to them. What a mistake!! despite a fairly flat worldwide stock market worldwide my portfolio has crashed by 4-5%, and I pay for the service! they now wont even reply to my emails asking what is happening. Reviewed on: 18th April 2018

Good option

I have had a pension package with this company for a number of years and the service and interest rate has been great. Reviewed on: 8th January 2018

Group Pension

I worked for Royal London for 12 and a half years and I can tell you that the people who look after your money are totally committed to being the best. At my new job, we have a group pension plan with them and they've been so good in sorting out enrolment and contributions. I'd highly recommend their pension portfolio product to anyone, it's market leading and truly innovative. Reviewed on: 20th July 2017

Pension loss

My option32 was transferred to Royal London last year and the value of the fund has dropped by 6k in just 12 months what are they investing in Reviewed on: 19th November 2016

Insurance for for top up mortgage.

I moved out of my house and paid off the mortgage. Royal London cancelled the policy saying they had written to me, maybe they did, to the old address, then cancelled the policy. I was £7.5k out-of -pocket because they would not accept payment of missing premium. Greedy pigs. Reviewed on: 8th March 2016

Serps

I opted out of Serps pension back in 1980, now they have stopped it. I will no longer benefit when I retire. I have never had any one contact me from Royal London to advise me in any kind off way an feel very disappointed. Reviewed on: 27th December 2015
