New numbers for your 3a pension solutions
Why is this changeover being made and what will change?
On the weekend of 5 to 6 October 2024, we will be upgrading the IT infrastructure of the Fisca Pension Fund Foundation of UBS. We look forward to offering you an even better client experience in the future, starting with a new overview of your 3a retirement savings.
The changeover will take place automatically: you do not need to do anything.

General information on the Fisca changeover
Due to the change, your UBS Fisca accounts and associated UBS Fisca custody accounts will be assigned new combined Fisca 3a numbers. The new numbers replace your previous account and custody account numbers. They will be visible in your Digital Banking from 8 October 2024.
Your 3a pension solutions will continue to be listed in Digital Banking, at the Multimat and on all Fisca documents.
It is possible that a Fisca account or a Fisca custody account has been explicitly excluded from your Digital Banking contract. For legal reasons, the new combined retirement solution 3a (UBS Fisca 3a) cannot be displayed in Digital Banking.
If you would like to see your UBS Fisca 3a account in Digital Banking, send your client advisor a message via the mailbox in E-Banking or call the hotline.
By the end of October 2024, you will receive an account statement from all Fisca accounts according to your shipping instructions, which includes the past transactions since the beginning of the year, as well as the balance.
All balance views, as well as past transactions on former Fisca accounts, are not visible in Digital Banking.
If you have any questions in this regard, you are welcome to contact your customer advisor or call customer service.
Your 3a retirement savings accounts will be debited and credited due to the changeover on the value date 4 October 2024 with the booking text “Transfer balance.” This ensures that the debit and the credit take place on the same date. Due to different “working hours” of the former and the new pension platform, the technical debit will be completed on 7 October 2024 and the credit from 5 to 6 October 2024. Therefore, the booking date of the credit will appear as 5/6 October, and the debit on 7 October.
The value date is relevant for the calculation of interest, so you will be neither advantaged or disadvantaged.

Opening & closing
You can continue to open a 3a pension solution yourself in Digital Banking.
You can find out more at UBS key4 pension 3a.
Newly opened UBS Fisca 3a will only be visible in Digital Banking the following day. However, payments in favour of newly opened UBS Fisca 3a can be recorded in Digital Banking immediately after the opening has been carried out.
All forms and requests in connection with UBS Fisca 3a, disbursement requests, transfer forms, home ownership advances and more besides can be found here.
Digital Banking
You will still find your 3a retirement savings in your Digital Banking under the home area on the “Accounts and cards” and the ”Assets” tabs.
From the changeover in October 2024, no securities orders within pillar 3 will be visible in the “Order overview” in Digital Banking. You will see pending securities orders already entered under pillar 3 with an execution date after 7 October 2024 as “canceled” in the “Order overview” in Digital Banking. However, we will execute already registered securities orders according to your wishes. You can request a correct overview of pending securities orders within pillar 3 directly from your client advisor or by calling the hotline.
All Fisca documents can still be found in UBS Safe. Following the changeover, you will find the Fisca documents under the category “Important Information” and under the document type “Pension services.”
Specific account names / abbreviations are assigned to Digital Banking contracts with up to 30 products. As soon as a Digital Banking contract contains more than 30 products, the additional account designations are assigned arbitrarily consisting of four digits.
All account names / abbreviations can be changed independently in E-Banking under "Accounts & Cards" > "Account information".
All former Fisca accounts will be netted between 08.10 and 11.10.2024. As soon as a Fisca account, which has been set as a favorite on the home screen, has been balanced, the favorite will be displayed as "not available". To change this view, the favorites can be updated or reset directly from the home screen.
Payments & standing orders

Nothing changes for you: You can still enter deposits in Digital Banking on the “Payments” tab.
