Swiss Serenity Launches Coordinated Search for 1,500+ Pension Institutions
Event summary
- Swiss Serenity has developed a coordinated search service across 1,500+ Swiss pension institutions to facilitate second pillar asset repatriation.

- The service is free and accessible to Swiss citizens or residents who contributed to the second pillar.
- Swiss Serenity has helped over 110,000 clients recover 328 million francs in total.

Swiss Serenity's coordinated search service addresses the administrative fragmentation in Switzerland's occupational pension system, which comprises over 1,500 institutions. This move aligns with broader industry trends towards digital transformation and streamlined financial services. The service could significantly reduce the time and effort required for asset repatriation, potentially unlocking billions of Swiss francs in unclaimed assets.
