I've had good experiences with IPF across a few different products. Shannon Moran helped me set up an AVC, and then later I went through IPF for my mortgage, with Ryan Flood helping me most recently.... See more

Professional Service
We had our meeting with Katie Doyle. Katie was very easy to deal with, she listened to what financial security we wanted in our retirement and did not try to influence our decision in anyway. I would definitely recommend Irish Pensions and Finance for pension advise on your well earned retirement.
Great service
I had a meeting with Pierre and he was patient enough to explain all I needed to know as well as answering my questions. Happy with the plan I signed up for and overall service.
Charlotte was very knowledgeable and friendly
Charlotte was very knowledgeable, gave great advice and was very flexible with her time. Charlotte was also available to answer any follow up queries. I would recommend IPF highly.
Informative, clear & comprehensive
I found the session with Joe Walsh very informative, clear & comprehensive.
I would recommend working with Joe in the future.
Dean Johnston
Dean wasn't pushy. He listened to what I had to say, he explained things clearly and didn't appear rushed. I appreciated the way Dean interacted with me. I understand AVC's a lot more now and feel happy about my decision in relation to my future finances.
Pension AVC
Thomas was very knowledgeable, gave great advice and was very flexible with his time. Thomas was also available to answer any follow up queries. I would recommend IPF highly.
Great experience. The guy Shane Towey I was dealing with talked me through everything and gave me loads of options. He explained everything in great detail.
Great experience
Rebecca Keogh
Rebecca was proactive in her approach and very informative, and I have great confidence in the advice she provided.
Financial Meeting with Pierre Kponsou
I had a meeting with Pierre Kponsou and he was so pleasant , helpful and he really was on top of his brief. He sent me a pre-consultation mail with a view to finding out exactly what I was looking to get from our meeting. I must say that approach was invaluable . It meant that when we had our meeting we both knew the scope and extent of what we would be discussing. This saved me in particular a lot of time and, with this approach in the future I would be much more open to having similar meetings with Irish Pensions.
Pension planning
Sarah really knows her stuff about pensions and AVCs and had answers for all of my questions. Thank you.
Extremely happy with service
Had a consultation with Darragh McCoy this morning and I have to say he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Very happy with the service and especially that he used plain English explaining things.
Darragh is excellent at his job
Darragh is very efficient, a good listener and a pleasure to deal with.
Explained things clearly and the teams meeting was very productive.
I was very worried about retirement
I was very worried about retirement. I knew that as it stood I would not have a full pension. Then four years ago Jack Garvey arrived into my life. He explained everything to me very clearly, answered all my concerns. He made a plan that was very thorough and did not leave me overburdened by pension contributions. I am now in a position where I will be retiring in two years on full pension, mortgage paid off, and a healthy lump sum. I really feel he spent time and effort on my case, it was all very tailored to me and my situation. I can't thank him enough.
Angel going above and beyond, so easy to speak with, very understanding to what I need, happy with the service
I have had the pleasure to speak with Angel about all polices available to me. I say talk because it felt like she had me and my families best interests and looked for the best quotes she could. Also she was honest about any questions I had which really helped me make some decisions, where she found a weak point that she couldn't help, she put me in contact with someone who could. I have no hesitation in giving ipf a full 5 marks, honest , to the point and most of all angel listened to what I want and delivered . Great work Angel and thank you for removing my finance future headache .
James was fantastic representative of IPF
James was wonderful - his knowledge and efficiency of service was exemplary throughout.
Fantastic customer experience
Andrew was a fantastic consultant. He talked me through where my money would be and the investment opportunities that were available to me. Cannot recommend enough, fantastic customer service.
I felt heard
I felt heard in what I was looking to achieve in my retirement plan and confident that I came to the right conclusion at the end of consultation.
Very helpful and reassuring advice
Nicole was very helpful and made everything very straight forward. She also reminded me to claim tax back on my income protection payments for last year, which I had forgotten to do! It was very reassuring to see how easy it is to update AVC's at any time. Nicole reiterated that it's no problem to increase, or decrease, AVC's at any time depending on personal circumstances e.g. pull them back a bit in times when there are other high monthly expenses and increase them when possible or as salary increases etc. come through. All very helpful and reassuring.
Good information in an easy understand way that Yasmin spoke…
Easy understand way that Yasmin spoke with me about starting an AVC meant i was confident going forward with it. Very helpful.
