Legal & General make changing your pension-receiving bank details virtually impossible. Having been encouraged to opt for paperless correspondence by my bank and by Legal & General, I do not have any hard copy documentation. When attempting to change bank details within the L&G portal they request hardcopy proof of the new bank account details, which of course L&G and banks enthusiastically discourage. They will accept electronic correspondence but, for security reasons, banks do not transmit bank account information via email. What should be a two minute admin process turns into a very protracted, time-wasting distraction which consumes weeks/moths of your time. I find the nonchalant arrogance of Legal & General quite astonishing. Only when I have the right to move my pension fund to an alternative provider without penalty will failing organisations such as Legal & General move to change.
