Transferring pension
It’s possible to transfer the pension you have accrued at another employer. This is called a pension value transfer.
- Pension value transfer may benefit your pension.
- There is no obligation to accept the offer.
- Requesting an offer only takes a few minutes.
Transfers may take longer due to the transition to the new pension rules
Pension value transfer will still be available after the transition to the new rules. However, during the transition period, the process may take longer than usual. PME plans to transition to the new rules on 1 January 2027.
How long does the completion of a pension value transfer take? That depends on your personal situation:
- Your previous pension fund hasn’t transitioned to the new rules yet
We can process your transfer request without any delays. - Your previous pension fund has already transitioned to the new rules
You can submit a transfer request, but we cannot process it yet. This will only be possible once PME has also transitioned to the new rules.
If the transfer involves a pension held with an insurance company, we can process your request without any delays.
