2nd pillar pensions and new jobs

Hi all,

I did a search on this but couldn't find any info. Sooooooooo;

How does it work with the 2nd pillar if you move jobs? For example, I was working for a bank and we parted company. Now I've got another job and was wondering what happens with the 2nd pillar contributions from the previous employer.

One assume it's not gone for good, but can I transfer that amount to my new employer? I'd ask HR, but getting hold of them is a nightmare.

Anybody got any experience?

thanks

You either put it in a frozen pension account in your own name or you can put it with your employer. I think it has to occur within 6 months. It was less than a week when I left a company.
