Would Recommend to Colleagues & Friends

Financial advisor Rob McCormack was informative & patient around any queries I had in relation to AVCs, given I had little knowledge around them. Most accommodating then when changes needed to be made. I would recommend and have recommended IPF highly to colleagues and friends.

Professional Service

We had our meeting with Katie Doyle. Katie was very easy to deal with, she listened to what financial security we wanted in our retirement and did not try to influence our decision in anyway. I would definitely recommend Irish Pensions and Finance for pension advise on your well earned retirement.

Dean Johnston

Dean wasn't pushy. He listened to what I had to say, he explained things clearly and didn't appear rushed. I appreciated the way Dean interacted with me. I understand AVC's a lot more now and feel happy about my decision in relation to my future finances.

Financial Meeting with Pierre Kponsou

I had a meeting with Pierre Kponsou and he was so pleasant , helpful and he really was on top of his brief. He sent me a pre-consultation mail with a view to finding out exactly what I was looking to get from our meeting. I must say that approach was invaluable . It meant that when we had our meeting we both knew the scope and extent of what we would be discussing. This saved me in particular a lot of time and, with this approach in the future I would be much more open to having similar meetings with Irish Pensions.

Extremely happy with service

Had a consultation with Darragh McCoy this morning and I have to say he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Very happy with the service and especially that he used plain English explaining things.

I was very worried about retirement

I was very worried about retirement. I knew that as it stood I would not have a full pension. Then four years ago Jack Garvey arrived into my life. He explained everything to me very clearly, answered all my concerns. He made a plan that was very thorough and did not leave me overburdened by pension contributions. I am now in a position where I will be retiring in two years on full pension, mortgage paid off, and a healthy lump sum. I really feel he spent time and effort on my case, it was all very tailored to me and my situation. I can't thank him enough.

Angel going above and beyond, so easy to speak with, very understanding to what I need, happy with the service

I have had the pleasure to speak with Angel about all polices available to me. I say talk because it felt like she had me and my families best interests and looked for the best quotes she could. Also she was honest about any questions I had which really helped me make some decisions, where she found a weak point that she couldn't help, she put me in contact with someone who could. I have no hesitation in giving ipf a full 5 marks, honest , to the point and most of all angel listened to what I want and delivered . Great work Angel and thank you for removing my finance future headache .
