Prompt service keep informed of progress,
Sam Carrol was polite and well informed
I spoke to Sam Carrol from Standard Life a few days ago regarding taking some funds from the drawdown facility. My husband passed away recently and I needed some money to go towards his funeral and a few other necessary things. She was so nice and understanding and everything went smoothly and quickly. Thank you Sam Carroll and Standard Life.
very quick and good response throughout the procedureThanks to Sam Carrol and team
I dealt with Sam Carroll re my final drawdown and found her to be polite, helpful and efficient. Full marks
Excellent efficient and professional service and I would like to thank Sam Carroll for his quick and effective responses. The death of my husband made things very difficult for me and I’m grateful for the respect you have given me.
Thank you

Very efficient but I couldn't find the acceptance emails which got hidden with hundreds of other emails in my tray
Very quick response, courteous and informative service on the phone
Sam Carroll, dealt with my request quickly and positively, leading to an excellent conclusion. Standard Life are an excellent company to deal with.
Competent dealing with my queries and application for further drawdown funds. I had a problem with seeing my bank account details printed on your online form so prepared and submitted a similar proforma with the other details. Thus my bank account details were kept secure albeit I was impressed with your DocuSign option which worked very well and speedily. Thank you - a great improvement on my last application for drawdown funds!
Sincerely, Christine A Easy (Mrs)
On our initial call to the Drawdown Team we were informed of the time scale for any monies to reach our account. Due to commitments it had to be sooner this was due to us not understanding the time scale required for any draw down.
We were informed by Sam Carroll that Standard Life would do their best to speed things along and they certainly did, as from point of contact it only took 2 weeks for us to have the money in our account.
This was because we had great communication with Sam Carroll which leaves us being very satisfied and impressed by the service Standard Life are providing.
Always polite and fairly speedy in responding always give a wider time frame to cover themselves but has always been far quicker highly recommended 👍
Person on phone very helpful and friendly. Sorted my situation quickly.
Sam Carroll and Wane C were very helpful and fast to react. A great company to do business with!
The online completion of the form made the drawdown much easier. However, having been told on line I would get a call in a few days it took me to chase to then find out it had been referred to the underwriters. When I did get a call I was told it would take a few more days but took much longer before I received the documentation. From me sending it in Sam has dealt with it quickly and efficiently. Whole process has taken nearly a month.
The introduction of an online form as alternative to making a phone call has made the processing of requests straightforward and time saving.
Application to Completion was also carried out quickly in around eight calendar days.
Sam has been very helpful in arranging the drawdown promptly. Fast efficient and helpful thank you
The process is now much more straightforward than previously when I had to apply for funds via letter.
Only downside; it takes around 5 days to receive the email requesting my electronic signature.
After signature, the process is very quick.
Prompt response when contacted. Dealt very well with questions relating to contract signing and follow up was excellent. Sam Carroll most helpful and got advice when unsure of answer to my question.
Phone answered promptly , easy to be identified as a customer with a few questions and a security text.
Pleasant and helpful
All explained perfectly
