What is a pension?
Your pension is your income for later. Your income after retirement can consist of 3 parts: State retirement pension (AOW) – a benefit from the government. The pension you build up through your employers (Shell and any previous employers). The pension you arrange yourself, for example through an annuity or savings.
Transfer of accrued pension rights
Did you have another employer before you started working for Shell? And did you accrue pension through that employer or other employers? If so, you could ‘transfer’ this pension to us, Shell Nederland Pensioenfonds Stichting (SNPS). We call this a transfer of accrued pension rights. You can do so at any time. But many people think about this carefully when they change jobs. You can ask your new pension fund or insurer to have the value of your pension transferred. We also call it: pension provider.
Pension abroad
Payment to a foreign country. We can also pay your pension into a foreign bank account if you live abroad. It often involves additional fees from the bank. If so, we will share those costs with you and deduct them from your benefits.
