NEVER PUT YOUT MONEY INTO RETIREMENT ANNUITY - MOMENTUM

I requested to withdraw my retirement annuity as it was under 15K and right now we do not even have food at home. Only to get told that I must wait 10 working days for this money, yet we know that Momentum as a company would have this small amount readily available.

I will definately not recommend people to take their pension fund or any extra money and put into a retirement annuity or presevation fund . When you request your own money back, they will make you wait regardless of how urgent the situation is.

The best solution is just to keep all your money in a TAX FREE Savings account so you can access it when you want instead of a company telling you to wait 10 business days - half a month!!!!!

Dear Shameem
Thank you for your message. I refer to your message received and confirm that Momentum needs to follow a process to withdraw the funds from the market and well as apply for a tax directive from the South African Revenue Services. This is the reason why the process takes a bit longer.
Kind regards
