Awful drama when making a withdrawal

Awful drama when making a withdrawal. initiated on 31st March and STILL the money has not been moved. OMD claimed they could not verify the account the money was being transferred to. A joint account with our names on which had previously been used for transfers. They insisted I needed to supply a copy statement, rejected a screenshot I sent and insisted on a PDF. Despite the document being supplied a week ago, I am STILL WAITING. Will be looking for alternatives in the near future!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear how frustrating this has been for you. For any withdrawal to be completed, we must have a fully verified bank account on file to ensure funds are transferred securely. In this case, additional documentation is needed to verify the destination account, which is why we requested a copy statement in PDF format.

We have contacted the account holder directly by phone, and the matter is being actively progressed. This will be resolved as soon as possible.

If you require any further assistance in the meantime or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly on 03455 28 88 88 or send us a secure message and we’ll be happy to help.

They haven't been investing the tax…

They haven't been investing the tax relief on pension contributions.
Pretty basic stuff. Slow to remedy it too.

Excellent online facilities

Excellent online facilities - we switched from Virgin Money, and there had been issues setting up a new direct debit from a third party - it was so easy on the Octopus site -easy to set up an account, everything was done by messaging and quick document upload; all resolved quickly- so far very impressed!

Old Virgin Money pension customer.

Old Virgin Money pension customer.
I tried to put some funds into my pension pot online by using my debit card. Not possible. Then I tried to use my other debit card. Also not possible. I informed them about problem, still not possible then Octopus pension told me to ring them instead. So I rang yesterday and a funny guy called Rubin picked up the phone. He behaved like I was doing him a favour. He even told me I was an online customer and I should manage my transactions online. I told him I would have if it had worked. This Rubin man kept making noises on the phone and humming, very irritating so I hang up. He called me back and I said I would ring later. I rang and lucky me the same humming Rubin guy again. I wanted to leave feedback at the end but he ended a the phonecall, so I didn't get the chance. It would be nice if staff were more professional.

My Virgin pension account was supposed…

My Virgin pension account was supposed to be transfered over to Octopus Money Direct. I go through the login, password and then push the button to get a verification code, and wait, and wait, but no code comes. The phone number is correct. On the 7th call the operator tells me the email is the problem. Why? your sending a number to a phone!! Every other bank and financial institution seems to get this right just Octopus seems to be unable to. How good are they going to be managing money if they can't get this simple thing right??

I never signed up with Octopus Money…

I never signed up with Octopus Money but they bought my junior SIPP provider. I tried to login to the app (which I used to do biometrically with my old provider), didn't work, wouldn't recognize the password, so I had to go to their site get a new password, but to login I needed to use the app, so then had to go to Google password manager to copy paste the password into the app, then it says I have to enter a code sent to my mobile, so I have to enter that. all just to access an app that used to take one touch without fail. If this app ever logs me out again I will transfer my SIPPs out straightaway.
