Payment of pension
Pensions are paid on the first banking day of each month, i.e., a weekday. If the first weekday of the month falls on a weekend or public holiday, your pension will be paid on the next possible weekday.
Earnings-related pensions can only be paid once per calendar month. The right to a pension arises monthly, and therefore the payment date cannot be moved to the previous month.

When is the first pension paid?
Your first pension will be paid about a week after you receive the pension decision or at the beginning of the month stated in the decision. After that, the payment date is always the first banking day of the month. You can see the next payment date for your pension in our online service.
If your pension has been granted retroactively and you have received another benefit for the same period, this amount may be deducted from your pension. In this case, you will receive a separate decision on the payment of the retroactive pension.
Do you want to change the bank account to which your pension is paid?
If you want to change the account where your pension or benefit is paid, the easiest way is to do it in our online service (link) under the Payment Details tab. For data protection reasons, we cannot accept changes to account numbers by phone or email.
