While many people regularly check their bank accounts, investment portfolios, and other financial assets, pensions are often overlooked because they seem like a distant concern. However, just like any other financial commitment, keeping track of your pension is essential to ensuring it aligns with your desired financial future.
Not regularly monitoring your pension can lead to unexpected challenges. At times, individuals get to the point of retirement only to realise that their pension savings are lower than expected – often due to missed remittances, incomplete payments, or contribution gaps they were unaware of. At this point, resolving these issues can be complex and time-consuming, especially if the discrepancies date back years, and involve multiple or dissolved employers. By regularly reviewing your pension account, you can catch and correct any inconsistencies on time, safeguarding your financial future.
Beyond retirement, an actively monitored and well-managed pension can also unlock opportunities available in the Contributory Pension Scheme including the Equity Mortgage program that allows you to use a portion of your Retirement Savings Account (RSA) balance towards homeownership. Your pension can also complement your proof of funds for travel purposes toward securing your visa.
