Hughie

The simplest possible way to get a pension set up if you're self employed. Setup took less than 5 minutes, and it just works - my money goes in, government money goes in, I can see everything at a glance - I genuinely can't see how it could be better.

Himel

Extremely good! A lot of freedom with access in full details via app and online platforms. Easy to get in touch with friendly customer service on chatline via either online or app. They listen to us for our feedback and suggestion(s) and they take action by adding in their pipeline to make it happen.

FAQs

My question isn’t here. See all FAQs ».

It is important to compare providers’ fees & any guaranteed benefits when deciding on whether to transfer, and be sure that the investments available are suitable for you. We cannot accept defined benefit pension transfers. If you decide to close your Penfold account and the value of your pot has gone down, the amount returned to the provider may be less than what you originally transferred.

Please know that if your employer is paying into your pension currently, transferring that pot may mean you lose out on their contribution. For more information on the risks see here.
