Once you have enrolled an employee on the pension scheme, we will send the employee an introductory e-mail. The employee then needs to activate their personal pension page by logging in with DigiD. On their personal pension page, the employee can find the pension regulations, the administration agreement and more information about the pension scheme. The portal also contains the Pension 1-2-3, which explains in simple language what the pension scheme entails.

BeFrank is a PPI, which stands for ‘Premium Pension Institution'. But what does this term mean exactly? A PPI is a relatively new pension administrator, alongside insurance companies and pension funds. We manage pension schemes and accrue pension assets. However, we do not bear the risk ourselves. A PPI manages collective defined contribution schemes. The pension benefits partly depend on the results of investments.
