The pension industry in Nigeria has evolved over the years andintroduction of the Transfer Window, which allows pension contributors toswitch from one pension fund administrator (PFA) to another has been the talkof the town since November 2020 when it was officially declared open by theNational Pension Commission (PenCom).

 

On December 23, 2020, Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers hosted an Instagram Live Session to educate contributors on what they need to know before switching PFAs.

 

Below are the key highlights:

1.      It is Free: Switching from one PFA toanother is completely FREE and OPTIONAL.

2.     Do your research: Verifythe sources of information before you switch. You can visit the NationalPension Commission (PenCom) website for details on returns.

3.     Confirm that the PFA is Compliant: Itis important to confirm that the funds of the PFA you are switching to areaudited and that they have adopted the International Financial ReportingStandard (IFRS).

4.     Your remittance and account balance arenot affected when you switch.

5.     You can only initiate a transfer once ayear; transfers are effected at the end of each quarter.
