Can I move my occupational pension?

Do you want to transfer your company's occupational pension to another pension company? With the right to transfer, this is perfectly possible. This right allows you to transfer the value of your occupational pension to another company or to switch between traditional and fund management. The company from which you are moving often charges a fee for this.

Whether you can move your occupational pension is set out in the pension contract. It is common for older pension contracts to have no right to move, while newer ones have the right included. If you are unsure, it is always a good idea to contact your pension company.

Where the right to move is available, moving one's occupational pension tends to be a painless process. The company you are moving to will often have ready-made forms for you to fill in and will then take care of the administrative aspects of the move.
