The Employee Pension of De Amersfoortse is set to become the Employee Pension of a.s.r. from mid-July 2017. From then on, correspondence about your pension will come from a.s.r. rather than from De Amersfoortse. We are also introducing a new personal environment for employees: My Pension Plaza. This portal will allow you easy access to pension details and let you gain a better understanding of a pension situation.
From mid-July onwards, we will be offering all our pension products, including the Employee Pension, under a single brand: a.s.r. This will allow us to respond better to developments. As such, we will be able to continue offering a competitive product that meets the demands of employers and employees.
Four out of ten people do not know how much their retirement pension will be worth. Yet you work one day a week on average towards your pension. This is why we feel it is important that you know about your pension situation and why we will be introducing My Pension Plaza. What does it offer?
For you, there will be little change. The terms and conditions of your pension scheme will stay the same. However, from mid-July onwards, the information about your pension scheme will be hosted on a different website and our contact details will change. Information will come from a.s.r. in the future. The changes:
Employee Pension will be the only scheme to be offered under the a.s.r. label from mid-July onwards. Pension policies coming under De Amersfoortse’s old back-office system rather than qualifying as Employee Pension policies, and the income-protection and health insurance products will continue to be offered under De Amersfoortse label. That said, there is a chance that these pension policies will be transferred to the Employee Pension scheme in the future. We will let you know as soon as this is on the cards.[No text in field]
My Pension Plaza is the new personal environment for employees. It provides information about your pension scheme, what happens to your pension at important milestones in your life, as well as your personal details. It also presents you with a Pension Explorer. You can use this tool to conveniently calculate what will happen to your pension if you choose to make extra contributions each month or if you want to reduce the risk to which your pension capital is exposed. You can also tell us about changes. Log into My Pension Plaza (Dutch only) from mid-July.

From a legal perspective, there will be no changes. ASR Levensverzekering N.V. is and will continue to be the provider of the Employee Pension. The terms and conditions and back-office systems of the Employee Pension will remain the same. What will not change either are the service level and personal attention that you are accustomed to. Information and correspondence you receive will only come from a.s.r., and some other things will change:
From July 2017, the Employee Pension of De Amersfoortse will continue as the Employee Pension of a.s.r. Our fee notes and reminders will bear this new name. With effect from 1 July, your bank statement will show a.s.r. Pensioenen as the originator of pension premiums.
From mid-July onwards, the login page for the pension portal can be found at My Pension Plaza (Dutch only).
