Hi C cin,

Thank you for your feedback, we're sorry to learn you’ve had a negative experience with us.

Having looked into the matter, we can see that we were initially unable to proceed with your request as we had not been provided with all of the necessary information. Additionally, we can see that during the process, you also informed us of other details that needed to be updated, and we therefore needed more information before we could process this for you.

While we appreciate that this may have felt longer than you would have expected, we're pleased to confirm that once you provided the required information, your details were updated within two working days.

Nevertheless, we're sorry if this was longer than you would have hoped, and we hope you have a better experience moving forwards.

Kind regards,
Team PensionBee

Expensive offering

The company offers pensions. Website is very unclear and their fund options are very expensive in comparison with the open market. People would do better to look elsewhere. Only signed up on the back of an offer to get £50 free. They only got 4 stars because they were fast to transfer out of.
