The whole experience was excellent
The whole experience was excellent. I contacted you guys, initially, just to see if it could work and because it was so easy, I went through the process painlessly. I was given great advice and support throughout the journey and have come out the other end totally satisfied with the result. Thank you for everything

Excellent, professional service - far less stressful than I imagined
Had little knowledge of pension annuities so used site for comparison purposes and was contacted by My Pension Expert..
Service was brilliant..
Explained different types of pensions whilst retaining my initial thoughts..
Spoke to a couple of financial experts as part of the service - they were checking & then confirming that my initial thoughts were financially sound.
Found the whole experience far less stressful than I expected and found every person friendly whilst remaining very professional..
Would recommend them to anyone..

Informative and honest
I didn’t in the end get financial advice from Compare Pension Annuity. However the initial conversations were very informative and honest, giving me insight into the complexities of choosing what to do with my pension pot and giving me the basis for further research. It was nice to have a follow up call to clarify that I would not be using them at this point.

Great intermediary service to get you the right advisor
Contacted this company using an online form. Arbaz called me to discuss my needs and then recommended a local financial advisor who rang me a day or so later. Great service all round. Arbaz rang to check up that I’d been contacted and then a couple of weeks later to see if I’d met the advisor and if I was happy.
Arbaz is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
