    Pensionbee is not a pension consolidation company. Indeed, there is no such thing.  Virtually all pensions accept transfers in from other providers.  
    What do you mean by safe?
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    I took it to mean "safe" = "not scammers".

    They aren't some sort of scam.

    What made you think it might be a scam? - it is possible for scammers to use company names / clone the website, although I've not heard that Pension Bee has suffered this.
