Cards for Receiving Pensions
Receiving a pension through a bank offers undeniable advantages:
- For instance, if you miss visiting the post office for any reason and don't receive your payment, you can only collect your pension next month. However, funds on a card are always available once they are deposited into the bank account.
- Opening pension accounts is free of charge.
- Banks often offer various incentive programs.
To open a pension account at a bank, you need to fill out an application specifying the bank's details and submit it to the Pension Fund. Alternatively, you can submit the application directly at the bank branch, and the staff will forward it to the Fund.
