From the first phone consultation to the completion of bringing my pension to maturity I found Pension Advice to be outstanding in every regard. Kind professional understanding personnel who managed every aspect of my particular situation diligently. I could not be happier with the level of service I received with particular mention to Amy Costello who worked tirelessly to guarantee a successful outcome for which I am extremely grateful. I have already and shall continue to recommend Pension Advise to family and friends and I wish the company every success in the future.

I worked for a UK based company here in Ireland for 25 yrs. They folded in 2006. My pension was entrusted to various insurance companies since then . As I'm 59 yrs old I requested a pension statement. Having considered my pension options with the UK insurance company who held my Irish occupational pension , I opted to take the transfer value, move it to Ireland, access the tax free portion and put the balance it into an ARF here in Ireland. Easier said than done. The UK company holding my pension would only deal with a UK registered broker even though I was in Ireland and never actually worked in the UK. This is where Pension Advice come in. I contacted Chris Crowley and he assured me that he and his team could sort this out . Naturally enough there was a bit of paperwork to be completed and Louise Williams steered me through that without a hitch. I also spoke to Amy on a couple of occasions and she was very helpful also . The process took 4 to 5 months and is now completed .The investment advice I received from Chris was first class and well explained. I am now in receipt of my pension and its invested here in Ireland where I want it to be. I consider myself fortunate to have discovered Pension Advice when I did . One of my better decisions without a doubt . Michael

Dealt with Pension Advice to transfer my old work place pension from my previous employer into a personal retirement bond policy. They took the time to advise me appropriately and help me choose funds that were aligned to my attitude to risk. I’m hoping to retire early and access 25% tax free cash at that time.So very happy with my options moving forward. Would definitely recommend Pension Advice.ie

My case is a bit tricky as I had lived and worked in Ireland for over 17 years and had a private pension taken out through my employer. When I moved to another EU country for good, progressing with my pension and transferring the funds was a major problem as my employer is the pension trustee, but is not allowed to advise or support. After doing some research and shopping around (and getting false information from a very big international pension provider), I found Pension Advice. 4 months later: All is done and dusted, I have a great new pension scheme and a personal advisor to look after my financial interests: Pension Advice!!! I can not stress enough how important this is.

From the start speaking to Chris he went through all of the requirements from myself and what I was looking for. Following on from this we were able to set up PRB to suit my needs. The admin team and Nicola were excellent providing documentation when needed and answered any queries I had no matter the topic. I'd highly recommend the team from Pension Advice.

I was looking at bringing a uk pension back to Euroland but any advice I got was very negative and what a difficult process it would be. I got in contact with Chris and after an initial meeting I felt very confident that they could help. It is a bit of a process but with Louise and Chris looking after all the paperwork it was all sorted with a minimum of fuss. My pension fund is now in an ARF and thankfully no more exchange rate worries. I would highly recommend Pension Advice to anyone in the same situation and look forward to seeing my fund grow. They are likeable people and that is important to me to work with them long term.

I contacted Pension Advice to get some help with transferring an AVC from the UK to Ireland. I had previously tried other companies who could give me no help. When I spoke with Chris he was very helpful and gave clear and concise information outlining the process. He then passed me over to Louise who was my contact person. From my first call with Louise I found her to be efficient, professional and extremely helpful, and I felt very confident that I had finally found the company who could help with my transfer. The process took a lot longer than anticipated due to hold ups and red tape at both UK and NI ends, but Louise was always willing to communicate with these agencies on my behalf, and push for progress. Every time I thought I was getting nowhere, Louise sent off a very effective communication which got things moving again. I really did appreciate having an advocate on my end for whom nothing was too much trouble. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend this company to anyone looking for pension advice. Thank you Louise and Chris for an excellent service.

Louise Williams has chased a possible pension for me during my employment period in Ireland from November 1997 to June 2000. Although she hasn't been succesfull in locating anything I am convinced Louise has done her research in a professional manner which I never could have achieved myself with limited knowledge from Australia. Communication with Louise was nice, swift and clear. Her assistance has also given me a piece of mind that I might possibly not have contributed into a private pension scheme back then hence no benefits could be located. And I was certainly NOT left with some nagging feeling that there is still some unclaimed amount of money left for me in Ireland. Their consistent 5-star reviews also gives me a good feeling ! I can warmly recommend their services.

Chris and Louise absolutely nailed the advice and service aspects of transferring my UK pension to Ireland. The advice I received was very useful, reduced admin costs and the admin overhead as a self-employed person. Louise monitored progress and provided updates throughout ensuring that everything was taken care of as efficiently as possible. An absolute pleasure to deal with- highly recommended.
