Dutch pension fund PMT has submitted its implementation and communication plans to De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), in what has been highlighted as an “important step” towards the transition to the new pension scheme.

The process towards approval for the plans will now begin, in tandem with work to continue the preparations needed for the new regulation together with MN and PGGM.

As part of this, the group confirmed that it has just started its campaign to share sample calculations with members, with further communications to follow later this year.

In particular, savers are set to receive a provisional personal calculation of their new pension by letter or email in October or November, before receiving the final personal calculation of their new pension by letter or email in March 2026.

Commenting on the latest milestone, PMT chairwoman, Mieke van Veldhuizen, said: “We thank everyone involved for the hard work of the past years.

“This step is the result of thorough and careful preparation. All stakeholders were involved in this. Employees and pensioners can trust that pensions are and will remain well organised.”
