Third Pillar Pension Administration

The Dutch pension system consists of three parts, alsoreferred to as the three pillars.

  1. The first pillar is the state pension under the General Old Age Pensions Act (AOW).
  2. The second pillar is the pension that employees are required to build up through their employer.
  3.  The third pillar consists of voluntary individual income provisions to fill a pension gap, to retire early or just to increase your pension. The third pillar is formed by individual pension products via a tax-efficient account.

For financial institutions like (independent) asset managers, who provide third pillar pension products and services, AFS offers blocked savings account, custody and payout including additional tax calculations. A RAV always needs an offset account with a European bank with an IBAN. The RAV can only be used in a closed system only for investment-related activities.
