Re: 3rd Pillar Pension Fund

Hi all,

We are considering getting a 3rd A Pillar pension Fund. After some reading we decided to go to PostFinance as it seems to be one of the best in terms of rates. Once there, surprise!!! The person in the office told us that we could not get our money back before 5 years...but we will need it for our new house/aptm!!!
We would greatly appreciate if someone could confirm this point.
Strange statement! Something lost in translation? Ask them to give you the written terms and conditions with the clause on 5-year lock-in.

However, you may have a hassle with the tax department. They may refuse the usual deduction, if you put it in, claim a deduction, and then quickly withdraw it.
