You can withdraw the money in your pillar 3a account as early as 5 years before your retirement and as late as when you are 70 years old if you’re still working.
To process your pillar 3a withdrawal, our partner VZ requires a specific form.
Please follow these steps to pay out your 3a account for your retirement:
Download this document (only available in German), fill it out, print it and sign it by hand.
Add the mentioned attachment "official proof of marital status" (in German: amtlicher Zivilstandsnachweis) issued within 3 months of the current date. Please contact the “Zivilstandsamt” to get this document.
Send the documents (the form needs to be original, the proof of marital status can be a copy) to the following address:
VZ Vorsorgestiftung 3a
Stiftungsadministration / TAS
Gotthardstrasse 6
8002 Zürich
As soon as VZ has received the documents, you will receive a confirmation from us.
