How does it work?
 

Step 1: You request a value transfer yourself. You do this using the value transfer form. On the form you fill in the details of your old pension provider.

Step 2: We request information about your accrued pension.

Step 3: On the basis of the information from the old pension administrator, we calculate the pension capital we can give you on the retirement date. You will see this in the quotation.

Step 4: Now it is up to you to weigh up whether a value transfer makes sense. For this you can make a comparison between your old pension scheme and the new one with us. Use the Pensioenvergelijker for this purpose.

Step 5: Do you agree with the offer? Then we request the capital from the old pension provider.

Value transfer of small pensions

Your pension fund has chosen to cooperate with automatic value transfers of small pensions. These are pensions of between € 2 and € 613.52 gross per year (2025). This means that a small pension will automatically move with you to your new pension administrator if you change your job. Pension claims of less than € 2 gross per year will lapse.
