The Registrar of Pension funds provides a central database on the FSCA website to assist members of the public to ascertain through the search engine if there are any unclaimed benefits due to them.
An enquirer will be required to input basic information onto the Unclaimed Benefits Search Engine, i.e.. name, surname, identification number, fund name, name of employer, etc. in order for the search engine to check if there is a possible match. On a successful match, the enquirer will be provided with the contact detail of the fund and/or administrator.
The FSCA can only assist by providing the contact details of the relevant fund and/or administrator where the enquirer will have to contact the fund directly and then follow the normal claims process of a fund to prove a valid claim.
Find out if there are any unclaimed benefits due to you using basic personal information.
