About us

The founders of Pense have spent decades working across the pensions and retirement planning sector. Together, they identified a major gap in the market.

Access to quality financial advice and pension guidance was either too expensive, too complex, or simply not available to the people who needed it most. Pense was created to change that.

Our mission is simple, to make sure everyone in the UK can get the most from their pension, regardless of their pension size. We believe trusted, regulated advice should be accessible and affordable.

As a fully independent firm, Pense works with all the leading pension providers across the market. We’re not tied to any one company, which means our advice is always based on what's truly best for you, not for us.

We specialise in helping people understand their retirement options, offering clear, jargon-free guidance and advice tailored to their personal circumstances, whether that means staying with their current provider, moving to a more flexible solution, or taking advantage of guaranteed benefits.

So in a nutshell...
Pense is making pension sense!
