Everything You’ve Been Wondering About Vested Accounts—Answered

Straightforward answers to help you make informed decisions about managing your vested pension assets in Switzerland.

What are vested benefits, and when do I need an account?

Vested benefits are your accumulated occupational pension savings (2nd pillar) that must be transferred to a vested account when you’re no longer with an employer—such as during a job change, career break, or move abroad.

What happens if I don’t open a vested benefits account?

If no account is opened, your funds are transferred to a default national foundation, which may not offer optimized returns. Choosing your own provider gives you control and better outcomes.

Can I invest my vested benefits to grow them?
Yes, you can choose to invest them in securities for long-term growth—tailored to your risk profile. Vita Finance helps you select the right investment path.
Is early withdrawal of vested benefits possible?

Early withdrawal is allowed for reasons such as becoming self-employed, buying a home, or moving outside the EU/EFTA. We’ll guide you through eligibility and process.

What if I return to work?

Your vested benefits must be transferred into your new employer’s pension fund. We ensure this happens smoothly and on time.

How are vested benefits taxed?

They’re taxed at a reduced rate upon withdrawal, which varies by canton. We provide projections to help you plan better.

 

What happens in case of death?

Funds are distributed in a legally defined order among eligible beneficiaries. With Vita Finance, we help you document your wishes to ensure clarity and security.

Can I have more than one vested benefits account?

Yes, multiple accounts are allowed. Strategic splitting may also support more favorable tax planning at the time of withdrawal.
