If you’re about to buy your own home and would like to use your pillar 3a to do so, 2 options are available to you.

Transfer pillar 3a to your financing institute

Transferring your pillar 3a to the financing institution for your new property is free of charge.

If you wish to go ahead, please send us the completed transfer form from your financing institution by email to support@selma.com.

Transfer your pillar 3a to a blocked bank account

Please note that there is a fee of CHF 300.00 for the transfer of your money to a blocked account.

If this is your preferred option:

  1. Download this document, fill it out, print it and sign it by hand.

  2. Enclose a copy of the required documents.

  3. Send the documents to:

VZ Vorsorgestiftung 3a

Stiftungsadministration / TAS

Gotthardstrasse 6

8002 Zürich

You will receive your payment within 3 weeks of VZ receiving all your documents.

Once you have completed these steps, you can start focusing on choosing the colour scheme for your new living room – we’ll take care of the rest! 🏡
