What is PensionHunter's goal?

Why we exist

Both sides are looking.

The mission is a world where no pension goes unclaimed. The Index and the country guides are always free. The reports are part of how we fund the work.

Pension schemes hold money for members they cannot reach. Those members do not know it exists. Neither side can find the other, because a scheme sees only its own members and a person sees only their own history.

We exist to close that gap. We count the problem, we publish what we find, and we are building the route that connects a scheme that is looking to the person it is looking for.

Count it.

We ask every scheme to publish three numbers, once a year. The format is free to use.

The three numbers format

Record it.

We maintain the public record of which of the 47 systems in our transparency scoreboard publish a figure and which do not. Open data, right of reply, every correction dated.

A free check for anyone who worked abroad, and research for those who want it taken further.

Our commitments

What we hold ourselves to

We are mission-led. The reports fund the research.

The Pension Scoreboard and its data are free and stay free. Published under CC BY 4.0 with a DOI.
Every national system gets a free evidence-based guide, including the systems we take no cases in. 52 published so far.
Every body we report on has a public right of reply. Corrections are made within 48 hours, dated, and credited.
Nobody pays us but you. No commissions, no referral fees, no percentage of anything. A fixed fee, refunded if we find nothing material.
We publish what we verify and we say plainly what is not confirmed.

We write to national pension authorities, and we publish what they say

Every institution is asked the same questions in the same words, and the answer is published as it was given to us. Twenty-six authorities have engaged with us in writing so far. The full study of all 53 systems, including the ones that do not answer, publishes on Thursday 1 October 2026.

Our Story: Building the World's Trusted Pension Identification Platform

PensionHunter is a team of pension researchers built for careers that crossed borders. Global pension experts.

Who started this

PensionHunter began with my own lost pensions. I spent my career in international finance and moved countries more than once, and decades later I could not say with certainty where my own pensions were, including a payment from 1992 I still could not explain.

It took months of tracking down my own forgotten pensions across Asia and Europe, four countries, four pension systems, four kinds of hold music.

Finding the answers meant reconstructing old employers through mergers and renames, learning which registers exist in which country and which doors close behind you when you leave. Along the way I realised nobody, anywhere, does this across borders.

The difficulty was not unique to me. It is structural. Millions of internationally mobile workers face the same problem and have no service to help, which is why we use AI to do what no human researcher could do at scale, and price it so it is accessible to everyone who needs it, not just those who can afford advisors.

So we built what I wished had existed when I started looking. My own case was the first one through the machine, and everything we learned from it is in the service you see today.

The problem with finding lost pensions across countries

The process was harder than it needed to be. Every country had different rules. Every pension provider wanted different documentation.

Language barriers. Expired logins. Closed companies. Lost paperwork. Hold music in four languages.

The Dutch pension register locked behind DigiD. The Malaysian EPF requiring personal attendance. Singaporean CPF records scattered across decades of employment. UK workplace pensions lost to company mergers he could not trace.

He got there in the end. But along the way he realised something that stayed with him.

Verified unclaimed pensions worldwide

Millions of people have pensions in countries they used to live in. They do not know the money is there. Neither do the pension providers holding it. Neither do the families who would inherit it.

There is at least 74 billion US dollars in verified unclaimed pensions worldwide, a floor based only on the 4 of 47 systems that publish a number, see methodology, most of it belonging to people who simply lost track when they moved country.

Built for the people who need it most

Many of these are not wealthy expats. Internationally mobile workers across every income level (engineers in oil and gas, professionals in construction, executives in finance, healthcare workers, teachers, domestic workers, hospitality staff) moved between countries chasing work or opportunity and left small pension contributions in every country that paid them. PensionHunter is built for everyone with cross-border pension entitlements, not just those who can afford traditional advisors.

Building global pension research infrastructure

We are starting with 41 countries and building toward the world's first global pension research service, and eventually the data layer connecting every worker to every pension they have ever earned.

Every case we run makes the next one faster. Every employer we trace, every provider we identify, every pension we find builds a database that will eventually connect every worker to every pension they have ever earned.

This started as one man's search. It is becoming something much bigger.

The numbers.

Two sides of the same problem

PensionHunter is built around one observation: across 41 countries, hundreds of millions of dollars sit in pension entitlements where the member and the provider have lost contact. Most of the time, the member does not know they have a forgotten pension. Sometimes the pension scheme cannot find the member. PensionHunter exists to close both sides of that gap.

For consumers, we are a research and tracing service that searches pension registries, employer records and provider databases across 41 countries: United Kingdom, Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, UAE, Vietnam, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Indonesia, Philippines, Liechtenstein, Bulgaria, Iceland, Latvia, Romania, Austria, Portugal, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Israel, Slovenia and United States. For pension schemes, master trusts and administrators, we provide beneficiary tracing worldwide. Every jurisdiction, no country list. Wherever your gone-away members have moved, we trace them. The consumer service is bounded by where we have country-specific regulatory expertise. The institutional tracing service is global. The consumer service is live today. The trustee service is live, delivered through pilot engagements.

Our Team

PensionHunter is a founder-led research service. An AI research pipeline does the searching; the PensionHunter research team steps in in the Enhanced Pension Identification Report and the Global Pension Identification Report to prepare your information requests. Every report is prepared by our research system and reviewed by a human researcher before it reaches you. What we actually do:

Automated research across official pension registers, employer records and corporate succession chains — spanning decades of company history
Cross-border coverage built system-by-system for the specific rules of each country we search
In the Enhanced Pension Identification Report and the Global Pension Identification Report, we prepare a complete information request for every fund we identify, written and ready to send
Identification-only: we find where pensions are held and how to reach them. We do not claim, transfer, negotiate, or make decisions regarding any pension

Our Fee Structure

PensionHunter charges fixed fees only, payable upfront. Three tiers: Country Pension Identification Report ($99) single country, Enhanced Pension Identification Report ($499) expert-led manual follow-up single country, Global Pension Identification Report ($799) expert-led multi-country.

What PensionHunter does not do

What we do:

- Research pension registries and employer records
- Identify whether entitlements exist in your name

- Deliver a written research report

All decisions about your pension, including whether and how to claim, remain entirely yours.
