Is the search really free?
Yes. The search for your assets is free and without obligation. You then decide freely what to do next.
What documents do I need to provide?
Your AHV number, an ID document and a signed power of attorney. For now, you can apply by phone, by email or by requesting a call-back on my.prevancia.ch; online applications will open in January 2027.
Why a power of attorney?
It allows us to contact the Central Office 2nd Pillar and the institutions holding your assets on your behalf.
What is the Central Office 2nd Pillar?
It is the official office to which pension and vested benefits assets in Switzerland are reported. It shows where a person’s assets are held.
How long does the search take?
It depends on the replies from the Central Office 2nd Pillar and the institutions. We keep you informed of every step by phone or email.
What if no assets are found?
We let you know. The search remains free.
How is Prévancia paid?
Prévancia is a business partner of Liberty Vested Benefits Foundation. If you decide to consolidate your assets there, Liberty pays Prévancia a referral fee of around 3% of each amount transferred. Prévancia is therefore not independent of this partner: you remain free to compare other solutions.
Do I then have to transfer my assets to Liberty?
No. You are free to leave your assets where they are or to choose another solution.
Can I do the search myself?
Yes, you can contact the Central Office 2nd Pillar directly. Prévancia handles it for you and follows up the replies from each institution.
I live outside Switzerland. Can I apply?
Yes. You can apply from Switzerland or abroad, by phone, by email or by requesting a call-back on my.prevancia.ch. Online applications will open in January 2027.
Is my data protected?
Your data is used only for your search and treated confidentially. Our privacy policy explains how it is used and kept.
