Why should I get private pension insurance?

The pension gap
is real


Your public pension will be less than 50% of your last net (pre-tax) monthly salary. Taxes and inflation will shrink it even further. The gap between how much money you’ll get and how much you’ll actually need to live comfortably is called the pension gap.

Public pensions aren’t enough


Workers pay into Germany’s public pension system, while retirees take money out. With birth rates decreasing and life expectancies increasing, there won’t be enough workers paying into the system when today’s young people retire.

You can retire anywhere


Private pension insurance goes where you do! You can move back home, go to a new country or stay in Germany – no matter where you decide to live, you’ll still get your pension when you retire.

It’s flexible


Customise your plan to fit your needs. Increase, decrease, pause or restart payments whenever you want. Choose between a lump sum or monthly payouts. It’s your future – you choose.
