When you leave the company, you’ve got lots of things to deal with. You might want to start your own business, your retirement might be starting, or you might be looking for a new job. Lots of things you need to look into. Make sure you think about your retirement well ahead of time to avoid surprises. This checklist will help you.

No matter why you’re leaving the company, ending your employment will have an impact on your pension. You’ll no longer build up pension. Your temporary partner pension will end, unless you leave due to early retirement.

Pension checklist
Your departure from ING is a good time to review your current and future financial situation. The Pension Planner will give you more insight into your pension and the options available to you. Other relevant matters:

• Once you’ve left ING, your pension accrual will only be increased if the pension fund's financial situation is good enough to allow indexation. More details on the pension fund's indexation policy is available here.
• Is your pension starting shortly? Make sure you report your pension choices before the deadlines. Take into account your retirement age for Dutch state pension (AOW) and for your pension plan in ING CDC Pensioenfonds (67 years), as well as benefits and taxes.
• Does ING CDC Pensioenfonds have your employer's email address in its records? Make sure you change this into your private email address in ‘My Pension’ under ‘My account’.
• If you're considering transferring your pension to your next employer, use the form for pension comparison or consult an advisor to ensure you make a well-informed decision. More information on value transfer is available here.
