I've just started with Nasa as the cheapest option on the list I was given. Efficient and quick setup and they got my first payslip correct including the SIPP side of things. Long may it continue.

Speak to Clarity. I had exactly this. They gave me the old list. Lucy sent them a pretty sharp sort email explaining they were on it and even mentioning the person that put them on it. The lady I dealt with did a quick check and came back with an apology and sent me the latest list.
Starting to think they know exactly what they are doing and are purposely pushing an old list for one reason or another.
I'll mention it to Lucy as well

That looks like the old AMS list because Clarity (our recommended option) is on the new one -
And when you fill in the form they actually allow any FCSA umbrella so you can at that point enter Clarity anyway..
Edit to add - Clarity do allow payment within their standard fee into your SIPP depending on your SIPP provider...

Another which umbrella
Cameron1590 asks:
I am currently engaged with AMS/PSR and have a good year left to run on my assignment.
When I started the contract initially, I went with their sister company (Giant) for my umbrella services.
At a request of the end client, I attended two meetings at their customers site. Travel Expenses were approved and paid but the pain I have been through to have the tax reversed on these expenses has been ridiculous.
I am now on my ninth email and Giant either ignore my emails or say “you didn’t attach any receipts” when I did and, well, the endless circle of emails resumes.
I've decided to cut my losses and move Umbrella, AMS state I can only use the following:- Advance
- Amaze Umbrella Limited
- Brookson Solutions Limited
- Danbro
- Giant
- ICS Umbrella Limited
- JSA / Workwell Solutions
- Nasa Umbrella Limited
- Parasol Limited
- Paystream My Max Limited
- Sapphire DNP Limited
- SG Umbrella Limited
Research is suggesting Paystream or Danbro but welcome lived experiences.
Thanks
