You’ve made it! You’re old and have decided to retire with a nice pension. But how do you make sure you got everything in order before you get there?

For most people who have just started working, a pension can be a far-off thing for the future to worry about. To help you out, here’s a short introduction to the Dutch pension system:

Crash course into pensions

For those familiar with the pension system, Baseflow does not have a pillar two pension funds, but instead offers the option to join a (pillar three) private pension fund, namely ’Bright Pensioen’.

Bright

Your pension might still be far away and not the first thing you would worry about, but as Baseflow, we wholeheartedly recommend you start saving up for what comes after your working life. We like to take care of our people while they work at Baseflow, and we would like for you not to encounter any trouble after you stop working. Of course, you are totally free of this choice. You can decide not to use Bright to save up for your pension and choose something for yourself. But as said before, we recommend taking care of it.
