We organised another successful webinar in early 2025 to keep everyone informed. Together with my colleague Hans Veltman and Board Chair Nancy Westerlaken, I updated everyone on developments relating to the implementation of the new pension scheme. You can still watch the webinar on our website. A new webinar is scheduled this coming spring. 

For example, the previous webinar covered among other things the progress of the implementation plan that is currently with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) for review. In the meantime, we have completed several rounds of questions with DNB and were able to properly answer their questions. We aim to receive approval from The DNB regarding the transfer of the accrued pension entitlements at the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter of 2026. Following approval, participants will be informed – expected in May 2026 – with an initial personal estimate. A second personal calculation will follow at the end of 2026.

This edition of Life & Pension contains additional information about this in the ‘New pension scheme update’ section. A topic that is also important during this transition is data quality. In this edition, Board member Murielle van Geijn-Lodder explains why this is so important. It also addresses how your (accrued) pension will be impacted when the new pension scheme takes effect in the near future. In addition, the changes to our supplementary pension schemes are also covered here.
