Are you getting a new job? Will that mean a new pension plan as well?

Are you switching jobs within ING? If so, not much will change. However, if you are leaving or joining ING, you will most likely be able to bring your pension along with you. (This might not be possible for pensions accrued outside the Netherlands.) It is worth looking into the implications of bringing along your pension and whether that will be beneficial in your situation. Make sure you check this out. As a first step, fill out the pension comparison tool pensioenvergelijker. It will give you a first impression of what is and isn't included in your pension.

Are you a new employee at ING? If so, your welcome package will include a form for transferring the pension you accrued elsewhere to ING. This is referred to as a ‘value transfer’. Go ahead and fill out the form, and we'll make you an offer. There are no charges involved and it will help you decide whether transferring your pension is beneficial in your case.

Are you leaving ING and getting a job elsewhere? If so, you can transfer your pension to your new pension administrator. You are entitled to ask them to make you an offer free of charge, to help you decide whether it would be beneficial for you to transfer your pension. 

Make sure you’re well-informed before deciding whether or not to transfer your pension.
