Payment of pension and payment dates
Your pension will be paid into your account on the first banking day of each month. You can view the amount of your pension, the withholding of tax and the payment date in Ilmarinen’s MyPension service.
Where is pension paid to and when?
Your first pension will be paid into your account within around one week of having received a pension decision from us. If your pension has not yet begun, the pension will be paid into your account on the first banking day of the month in which your pension starts. A banking day means a day during which banks are open.
Thereafter, your pension will be paid into your account once a calendar month, always on the first banking day of the month. If the first day of the month is a Saturday or a public holiday, the pension will arrive in your account on the following weekday. The payment date cannot be postponed to the previous month, as the right to a pension arises on a monthly basis and according to the law, occupational pension can only be paid once a month.
