Pension Bee tries to make it easy..

Pension Bee tries to make it easy to combine your pensions from various Pension sources.

It would be even easier to transfer your old pensions to Pension Bee if they asked you for copies of your appropriate documents eg. Birth Certificate, Drivers Licence, National Insurance Number and all the reference numbers from the desired pensions you desire for Pension Bee to start the process required.

They depend on you to do most of the work to communicate to your Pension providers to send them the required copy documents. Eg. If you have 5+ old / pension accounts, you’ll have to contact all of them individually, to provide the relevant information and documents. However this isn’t a negative thing, it’s just at present, the Pension Bee’s working model.

Recommendation: Pension Bee should change its working model, and acquire the permission, communication / documentation from you, then send this to your old present Pension Providers. It is the right thing to do, moving forward. Otherwise, the transfer to Pension Bee could be delayed for months, no progress being made, and is expected until you do what is needed, with your present Pension Provider(s).

Pension Bee are very professional and very friendly, and I will be monitoring my Pension Pots performance when all my Pensions have been completed / transferred to Pension Bee.

I’m looking forward to work with Pension Bee, hope my Pension pot grows higher than my previous pension plans. I’ll bee watching this closely as I want to make tons of honey sorry I mean money, for my retirement :).

Please note: You can always change your Pension Provider if the one you’re using isn’t working with you and doesn’t show that your money is growing faster than a Pension Provider Competitor.

Login is quite difficult

Trying to login and the app keeps buffering

Easy

The app is easy to use and clearly shows credits and debits and performance. Withdrawal is easy too with a set of questions to make sure the holder knows the consequences.

Great company

Would like to say pension B have been fantastic chasing up all my pensions and putting them in one place 5 star highly recommend this company

Good

App is well designed and simple. They merged all my pension I had about 5 to merge. Just be aware it’s an expensive pension so shop around 0.7 is quite high annual fee

Brilliant

I have been amazed by PensionBee, so easy to use, I would recommend to everyone!

Excellent

The pension bee has risen quite impressively since I switched this fund

Just got my pension transferred

It took a couple of weeks altogether. Truly seamless, and I love the experience so far!

Customer service

Every time i contact pensionbee either by chat,telephone or email I get a quick response. Issues have always been resolved in a professional and polite way. Best service I have experienced.

Lack of respect for the vulnerable

Lack of respect for the vulnerable/disabled

Seems ok, however, keeps crashing.

The app and the user interface seems easy and friendly to use, however, when adding pensions the app keeps crashing. I have tried closing the app and reading the pension, and still experience the same problem.

Pensionbee made it easy

A very old workplace pension that wasn’t digitised has just recently been transferred to Pensionbee with the minimum of fuss. The whole process was relaxed and stress free.

Great app

Useful and productive

Ease of use

Approachable people and easy-to-understand language

Poor

Still pending 4 days after making personal contributions. Too slow in updating statement.
Pension value also drops too quickly- losing thousands in just a few days is ridiculous.

Nice but pointless calculator

The calculator is visually appealing but it only shows nominal amounts, no growth and no inflation adjustments. It’s pointless.

Broken app

App stopped working a while back now… possibly a couple of weeks or more. Click on it and it just hangs without going through the Face ID check. Latest IOS installed.

Slow to show funds

The app shows that funds have been received from my pension provider a few days ago but are not yet showing as invested.

Fantastic company

Been looking into pensions for self employed and found it was a minefield out there, then I got recommended Pensionbee! Absolutely fantastic service, any questions/worries that I had, they answered and put my mind at ease!
If you’re looking to set a pension up and are self employed, go with these guys!!

DO NOT USE!!

Scam and con artists who will refuse legal documentation in order to keep your pension funds to themselves.
