The issue has not been resolved

The issue has not been resolved. The rep said that he would check on into the situation and get back to me by the end of the same week. I still have not heard back from Transamerica regarding funds that were deducted from my paycheck at my prior employer and which have not been applied or invested into my 401k account during the month of February 2026 and possibly the first week of March 2026.

We appreciate the feedback and would encourage you to reach back out to inquire as to the resolution. Funds are not actually deducted by Transamerica- they are deducted by the employer and sent to us to administer.

Breath of fresh air

The customer service rep was a breath of fresh air in this age of not caring. Had 401K rollover issues and the issue was handled swiftly without attitude and professionally.

Ripped off for a 401k transfer

The phone call was fine. What was not ok is the cost of moving a 401K to another company. I was charged $75 to accomplish it. I was told I HAD to use the paper form because I am 74 years old and you had to check to see if I was taking required disbursements. Well surprise I am not required to take disbursements because I am still working.

I called in confirming the date that my payment would process to pay off my loan and the rep put me on hold twice and then honestly did not give me a straight forward answer.

The staff were very helpful, however TransAmerica did not properly coordinate my direct deposit instructions and I still have not received my check which I was “apparently”mailed on May 1.

No Helpful Communication

I called to get some help and information. The first thing I encountered was Ai. After time and again of requesting a representative, I was finally connected with a young man of whom I could not understand most of what he was saying. After requesting someone who could speak good English, and not being able to get him to send my call forward, I finally hung up. I don't know why companies want to hire people for phone work who can't speak English in a manner that can be understood.
