Expert and trustworthy

I had reached out to Germany Pension Refund to help claim my German pension insurance after reading their many positive reviews. They completely lived up to my expectations providing a transparent, swift, and trustworthy experience. The procedure was clearly explained, all German documents came with an English version, and I was able to receive a refund well within the 6 months time frame. A special thanks to my customer rep Johannes who was very friendly and approachable.

I can recommend anyone to use the services of Germany Pension Refund. I received the refund for my pension approximately 3 months after providing all the documents. I had no major problem but I am sure the company could handle any problem and assist in getting the refund. The company is very reliable and professional. My Client Service Manager was Julia Kim and I highly recommend her.
