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.

  2. Enclose a copy of the required documents.

  3. Send the documents to:
