You can notify us of any changes through the employer portal. It could concern new employees or employees who are leaving, for example. Or there could be changes to salaries or part-time percentages. The status report shows the status of your changes. If over 100 employees within your organisation participate in the BeFrank pension scheme and you have to submit a lot of changes, then you can connect your payroll system to our pension declaration system (UPA). This makes it easier for you to notify us of any changes. Changes are processed automatically.

At BeFrank, we invest your pension capital according to the lifecycle method. This means that we factor in a participant’s age by focusing on generating returns when they’re young. For these participants, there will be time to recoup any losses when the economy picks up again.

As your retirement age approaches, we will ensure that your final pension benefits remain as stable as possible. We will then focus less on generating returns. The value of the investments may still rise or fall, but the goal will be to make your final pension benefits as stable as possible.
