Value transfer

18 July 2024 | News

If you start working for a new employer and also accrue pension there, you can transfer the pension to your new pension provider. We call this value transfer. Due to the transition to the new pension system, this may take longer than desirable.

Pension funds must switch to a new pension system by 1 January 2028 at the latest, but not all pension funds will switch at the same time. A value transfer is not possible between pension funds in different pension systems. The first pension funds will transfer to the new pension scheme in 2025 and the last in 2028. As a result, the waiting time for a value transfer can be up to 3 years. The Heineken Pension Fund expects to make the transition on 1 January 2026. If you still want to request a value transfer, do so as soon as possible.
