The pension fund of my last employer is taking a long time to transfer the money to my new pension fund. As a result, I am losing money because the new pension fund pays more interest. Is this allowed? Do they have to pay a penalty?

Hi there,

If a pension fund fails to transfer your pension savings to your new pension fund or vested benefits account within 30 days of your formally placing the request, they must pay a special interest rate stipulated by the federal government from the end of the 30-day grace period.

Best regards from Moneyguru
