Fantastic service.

Fantastic service by Julie today, she got everything done that I needed and with such efficiency and professionalism. Everything was explained clearly, that left me understanding exactly what I was getting from my new policy. My policy email came through within 5 minutes of the call ending. The price of the policy was fantastic for what was included. Would highly recommended using Payment Shield. Thank you.

Martin was excellent over the phone

Martin was excellent over the phone. He was patient with me but also directly to the point with what was needed throughout the call. He was very helpful with any questions I had and on the whole Paymentshield have been excellent with communication. I would recommend.

Premiums are over priced and you don't get a full refund if the policy auto renews and you provide the evidence you had other cover in place.

Complete Professional and all round lovely guy - Sam Ackers

Cancelling a policy can sometimes be painful. But when you speak with a person like Sam you know the call will be painless.

Sam has a great demeanour and knows his stuff, what more can you ask for. Payment Shield have been an excellent insurer, thank you all for the great customer service. Sam has exceeded all expectations today, look after your good staff.

Excellent experience with Dawn Courtney…

Excellent experience with Dawn Courtney following a call to cancel my policy and inform Payment Shield that it was a policy that should ended over a year ago. Before I even tried to request a refund I was in informed that I just send to submit the required evidence and I would refunded. If only all customer service could follow suit in such a pleasant, proactive and helpful Manner ? this is what corporate customer service should look like - Thank you Dawn.
