We're always delighted when we win awards because it means our customers are happy with what we're doing. And really, that's what matters most.
2008
We’ve had an excellent start to 2008. We were one of only four providers to be awarded five stars – the highest rating available – in the Defaqto Star Ratings 2008 for our Self-invested Personal Pension (SIPP). This is a great independent endorsement for us.
And so far this year we’ve been rated ‘eee’ for technology six times in the Financial Technology Research Centre’s e-excellence awards produced in association with Money Marketing, most recently for individual pensions and annuities. This is the highest possible rating and shows our commitment to delivering technology solutions that improve the way we work with advisers and customers.
