Review of the Royal London, Pension:

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

I can not get access to my pension.

I can not get access to my pension. Spoke to them 2 weeks ago and was promised an email within 48hrs. Chased it up several times (hrs waiting on phones) just to be told "sorry, we'll sort it out straight away", and they still haven't. What can you do? I took the pension out years ago, way before reviews were a thing. I certainly wouldn't recommend them now. Reviewed on: 13th June 2024

great pensions provider i have had policies with royal london since 2004. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2024

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

fees are high but good selection of funds and the profit sharing is nice Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Disgusting

Inherited a pension over a year ago and still waiting for the income to be released. Terrible customer services and no call backs as promised. Spent hours chasing paperwork that had been sent numerous times. 14 months on received part of the amount as it had been incorrectly taxed. Promised I will receive the income asked for originally and the balance not holding my breath have lost all faith in them. Terrible company. Stay well clear of these muppets. Reviewed on: 21st March 2024

Appalling Customer Sevice

Customer service isn't great. Had zero response to email. Can't get through on the phone. Their interactive system isn't great, nor do they explain it to you. Staff unfriendly and unhelpful, had to keep calling back yo get help. Reviewed on: 13th February 2024

Terrible returns, policies and practices

Terrible returns, policies and practices. Difficult to use website and app. Changing investments or policy details was extremely challenging. I would have more in my pension if my contributions were literally kept under my mattress for the last decade. Reviewed on: 10th February 2024
