Supplementary pension savings are one of the most convenient forms of savings offered in Iceland. If you choose to save 2-4% of your salary and pay it into a supplementary pension fund you will receive a 2% additional contribution from your employer according to most union wage agreements.

How does it work?

You apply for supplementary pension savings online or at any Arion branch and we will inform your employer. Your employer will then allocate your savings along with the 2% additional employer contribution into Arion’s supplementary pension saving scheme.

At the age of 60 you can withdraw your savings as you see fit. In the event of the beneficiary’s death, the supplementary savings become the property of the beneficiary’s heirs.

If you are buying your first property in Iceland you can choose to use your supplementary pension savings to do so with certain conditions.
