My husband has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and we were not looking forward to calling Royal London to initiate payment of his workplace pension as we expected it to be a lengthy and difficult process but how wrong we were!
We spoke with Customer Service Consultant Nicole Regan who was very empathic, efficient, friendly and helpful in making it easy for us to complete the application. Additionally, we were reassured the payment will be made swiftly.
My husband was very gratefully for Nicole's efficiency and actually cried with relief that she had made it so easy for us at such a difficult time - thank you Nicole from Mr & Mrs A Smith

Many other companies could learn a thing or two from Royal London on how a call Centre should be ran.

Telephone wait time is dreadful. 4 times I had to call and waited at least 20 mins. Then I have to be transferred to another department. Why don’t you tell me not to say pension in the IVR and income release?
Your agents cannot provide answers to the simplest of questions.
The email promised never arrived!!!!!! So after 2 days delay I had to call back and spend another 45 minutes on the phone.
I am contacting my IFA and will be moving my 2 pension accounts as your service is unacceptable

I have 2 pensions with these, one set up by my company and the other that I opted out of SERPS with. I moved home a few years ago and didn’t get statements for both pensions for a few years, added to this took my eye off the ball with them. When I finally got statements, it turns out for the past 5 years in a row the pensions have made 0.25% a year every year ! I therefore complained as the returns were unbelievable, I was told that my funds had been invested in CREST. I just wonder how many other victims they have. To put this into context, I had £50k nearly invested and over 5 years they have made me £500 whilst taking over £5k in charges for their expertise in investing!! So over a 5 year period they have made 1.25% whilst the FTSE has increased by nearly 50%. This is not a company to trust with your money!
I have today transferred this account, unfortunately though I have another account with £50k in, with exactly the same story, this account can’t be transferred though! How convenient!! BTW Royal London,I could have made 15% in a building society account over 5 years! Disgraceful!
