Building the World's Trusted Pension Identification Platform: PensionHunter Now Searches 41 Countries for Lost Pensions

19 July 2026

LONDON. PensionHunter, the cross-border pension identification service, has expanded to 41 countries, making it the first service of its kind to offer structured pension research across Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, the Middle East and Africa from a single platform.

There is at least $74 billion in verified unclaimed pensions worldwide, a floor based only on the 4 of 47 systems that publish a number. The Pensions Policy Institute counts 31 billion pounds across 3.3 million forgotten pension pots in the UK alone; the Australian Tax Office reports over A$16 billion in lost superannuation. The people most affected are those who moved: expats and international workers whose careers crossed borders, leaving retirement savings scattered across national systems that do not talk to each other.

"Pensions get lost for mundane reasons," says founder Frank Marco Holle. "Careers change. Employers merge. Schemes are renamed and records fragment across companies, countries and decades. We built PensionHunter to reconnect those pieces."

The service combines professional identification research with human verification. Automated research traces employers through mergers, renames and closures across public registries; human researchers verify key facts before any report is released. Every finding carries its source. "We do not invent, guess or auto-generate answers," says Holle. "If we can't verify something, we tell you."

PensionHunter's model is deliberately different from the industry norm. Where most tracing services offer free searches funded by pension consolidation fees or advice commissions, PensionHunter charges a fixed fee for the research itself: Country Pension Identification Report at $99 for one country, Enhanced Pension Identification Report at $499 with a complete information request prepared for every fund identified, and Global Pension Identification Report at $799 covering every country a client has worked in. The full comparison is published at pensionhunter.ai/pricing. There are no commissions, no success fees, and a full refund if nothing material is found. The service identifies where pensions are held; it does not provide financial advice, handle client money, or move pensions. All decisions remain with the client.

The company is independently funded and legally structured to operate across all 41 markets, with a cross-border legal opinion on file. PensionHunter is a registered UK trade mark of the London-based firm.

PensionHunter operates at pensionhunter.ai. A free directory of official government pension portals covering 52 countries is available on the site.

Story Ideas for Journalists

The billions in pension savings missed by estates every year

The problem: Executors and families regularly miss pension entitlements when dealing with an estate. Death in service benefits alone go largely unclaimed, often worth 2-4 times the deceased's annual salary.

The data: 3.3 million forgotten pension pots in the UK worth £31.1 billion (Source: PPI BN138, 2024).

The solution: PensionHunter conducts estate pension searches for executors, covering all countries, reporting within 21 days.
