Vested Benefits Foundation

The simple and secure way to reduce your administrative workload

Our offering at a glance

When members leave, pension funds can simply and easily set up an account with our Vested Benefits Foundation and transfer the vested benefits to it. Benefits can then be credited just as easily by the UBS Vested Benefits Foundation to the new pension fund.

Opening a vested benefits account

A vested benefits account should be opened in two cases: When an employee's employment relationship comes to an end, but their vested benefits cannot be transferred to a new pension fund immediately or in full. Or when an employee’s salary falls below the minimum level at which insurance is required.

Transfer vested benefits

You can transfer the vested benefits to the collective account of the UBS Vested Benefits Foundation via UBS e-banking or using a payment slip. The UBS Vested Benefits Foundation then credits the amount to the member's individual vested benefits account and sends a confirmation to you and the member.
