OREANDA-NEWS. September 18, 2013. By today, almost 15,000 SEB clients have submitted an application for increasing their second pillar pension contribution in the years 2014-2017. Contribution increase applications can be submitted until 15 September. Submitting an application is voluntary and has to be a conscious and considered decision.

“As at today, about 15,000 SEB clients have wished to increase their second pillar contributions, and SEB clients have submitted applications at the same rate as the market average. For us it is important that every person would make a conscious and considered decision when submitting the application.

The question of how much increasing the contribution changes a person’s monthly pension has to be answered unambiguously. If the effect of increasing the second pillar contributions is too small, it may be wiser to instead invest in the third pillar, in which bonuses are found in the form of more favourable taxation for both contributions and disbursements,” said Indrek Holst, Chairman of the Management Board of AS SEB Elu- ja Pensionikindlustus.

There is no need to visit a branch to submit an application for increasing the second pillar pension contributions. The easiest way is to fill in the application in the Internet Bank. If you wish to review your pension accumulation principles as a whole, it is reasonable to come for a consultation. There are still some spots available in the schedules of SEB pension advisers, although all branch tellers are also willing to advise the clients on making a considered decision.
