When to do the research?

You should immediately do a search if:

During periods of unemployment, prudent management of your vested benefits becomes crucial. A strategic distribution of your savings is advised to maintain financial stability and minimize fees. Good planning ensures a smooth transition through this period.
During a sabbatical, financially preparing for this work interruption is essential for the protection of your vested benefits. Careful planning offers you peace of mind, allowing you to fully enjoy your time without financial worries.
Good retirement planning requires an overview of all your assets. A quick awareness of this issue allows you to find a banking partner offering more interesting returns.
If you have changed employers without a break in employment, no problem, your credit balance has been transferred to your new pension fund. If your employment was terminated for a few months, a vested benefit credit may have been created.
Leaving an employer established in Switzerland means leaving your pension fund, which results in the creation of a vested benefit. This money can be withdrawn under certain conditions or transferred to a Swiss bank offering better conditions.
Good succession planning requires an overview of all your assets. Early awareness of this issue enables you to find an advantageous banking partner. It also helps to reduce the administrative burden on your heirs.
The LPP assets accumulated during the marriage should in principle be shared at the time of divorce. During this splitting, a vested benefits account is created if the recipient is not affiliated with a pension fund.
Do you need equity to buy your own home and are you short on funds? Perhaps you have it without knowing it.
Are you a conscientious person who wants to be sure that none of your hard-earned assets from your professional career have been misplaced? There's only one way to make it light.

2nd pillar assets or vested benefits: how to recover them?

By filling out our free and non-binding search request form, a search will be sent to the 2nd Pillar Central Office.

How could I "misplace" my assets?

When the employee leaves the employer, the pension fund sends a form to the employee and the employee must indicate where the assets are to be transferred. If this form is not filled in on time, the money is sent to the Substitute Institution Foundation.

Why trust us?

Kala is now the market leader and has hundreds of satisfied users' reviews, visible on App Store and Play Store. The press has praised their services on several occasions.

The problem of vesting in Switzerland

Every year 830'000 people change employer, thus considerably increasing their chances of losing their 2nd pillar assets.
