EFFICIENT & RELIABLE

Through my experiences I have found the Embark Pensions team very efficient and reliable. They offer an excellent personal service to their clients. I already have and will continue to recommend them to other advisers.

EXEMPLARY SERVICE

I started using the Option SIPP last year to keep my pension costs low. The service has been 5 STAR. I now have the flexibility to buy shares and commercial property. The transfer was quick and hassle free.

INVESTMENT CHOICE

The Option SIPP accepts a broad range of investments that simple, off-the-shelf SIPP providers would not be able to handle properly. Even people working at the funds I’ve invested say how helpful they’ve been.

CLEAR, TRANSPARENT FEES

I am transferring my SIPP to Embark Pensions where the charges are explicit, clear and not bundled or subject to increases without explanation. The team are very personal and efficient and a pleasure to deal with.
