  • ITP book reserve method pension schemes 
  • Commitments in other contractual areas
  • Commitments in companies’ own plans
  • Individual commitments
  • Early retirement pensions
  • Foreign pension commitments

What are PRI Pensionsgaranti's requirements?

  • PRI Pensionsgaranti carries out customary credit assessments on an on-going basis, which include, among other things, the company's long-term performance ability of the company, financial position, and ownership structure.
  • A guarantee by the group's parent company is always requested if the company is part of a group.
  • In some cases, additional security is required.

Contract term and renewal

  • If the credit insurance is cancelled by PRI Pensionsgaranti, the pension liability can be settled over a period of up to five years.
  • In some cases, PRI Pensionsgaranti may decide that the pension liability must be settled over a shorter period of time.
