Collecting unpaid pension premiums from employers?
- Brú Pension Fund oversees unpaid premiums from your employer.
- It is important that you monitor that payments reach us from your employer.
- Twice per year the Pension Fund will send you an overview of all pension premiums submitted in your name, so you can make sure all payments match your payment slip.
- When you start a new job with a new employer it is especially important to make sure the first premium payments are being paid to the fund.
- If premium payments are not paid it is best to contact us as soon as possible, so we can collect the payments.
The Fund Member's Website and the Pension Gateway
- Throught the fund member's website you can access the Pension Gateway (lífeyrisgáttin).
- The Pension Gateway provides information about all accumulated rights (with all Icelandic pension funds).
- You access the Fund Member's Website with your electronic credentials on your phone, or apply for a web-key (IS: veflykill) on the log-in website which will be forwarded to your online bank under "electronic documents" (IS: rafræn skjöl).
