Why we exist
The problem, in the news
On 9 November 2026 NOS, the Dutch public broadcaster, reported that people who worked in more than one EU country cannot see their pensions: "there is no institution that collects all their pension entitlements" (our translation). That gap is why PensionHunter exists.
Our reaction
The free official routes come first, always. But from abroad they often stop at the first step. They need a national digital ID that is hard or impossible to get once you have left (DigiD in the Netherlands, MyGovID in Ireland, BankID in Sweden), or a national number you no longer have. They need the scheme's name, while people remember the employer, and employers merge, rename and close. And they tell you to contact the provider, not which scheme held your years or who holds it today.
That gap is why PensionHunter exists. We identify which scheme held your years and who holds it today, from official sources, and a researcher stays with your case until it is closed and writes every request for you to sign and send. Identification only: no advice, no commission, and we never act for you. For pension funds, the free Global Pension Finding Register lets former members leave one forwarding address, so a fund that may not trace them can still be found.
