Retirement Savings Account

This is the standard Employee’s Retirement Savings Account. This account keeps the record of pension contributions of individual employee that is registered with Oak pensions limited. The money on this account is the asset of the account holder.

The fund is managed on behalf of the account holder until he reaches the age of fifty (50) years or retires whichever is later. The money is with our Pension Fund Custodian (PFC) – First Fund Custodian, a subsidiary of First Bank of Nigeria Plc.

A statement of the account showing the value of the account including total contribution to date and current balances are to be sent to the account holder regularly. The account holder can also access the account details on the internet from our website – www.oakpensions.com. Please download the RSA form or complete online and forward to Oak pensions today.

Process for Opening a Retirement Savings Account

Oak Pensions processes the form and sends details to PenCom for the issuance of Personal Identification Number (PIN)
Oak Pensions sends confirmation letter to employee. The letter contains employee’s PIN, username and password (this will be used to log onto Oak Pensions website) and our Custodian details (for remittance of contributions).
