How can you onbtain a Pension Identification Number (PIN) in Nigeria?

As part of the onboarding process in Nigeria, employees are required to obtain a Pension Identification Number (PIN) to facilitate the remittance of their pension contributions. Horizons Nigeria, registered with the National Pension Commission (PENCOM), ensures that pension deductions for its employees are regularly remitted. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to obtain your Pension Fund Number:


1. Choose a Pension Fund Administrator (PFA)

The first step is for the employee to select a Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) from the list of PFAs registered with PENCOM. PFAs are responsible for managing and administering pension funds for employees in Nigeria. It’s important to choose a PFA that aligns with your preferences and needs.


2. Register with the PFA

Once a PFA is selected, the employee should visit the office or website of the chosen PFA to complete the registration process. During this process, the employee will need to provide personal information, including identification documents such as a National Identification Number (NIN), international passport, or driver’s license.


3. Obtain a Pension Identification Number (PIN)

After completing the registration, the PFA will issue the employee a unique Pension Identification Number (PIN). This PIN is crucial for the remittance of pension contributions and is essential for tracking the employee's pension contributions throughout their employment.


4. Provide PIN to Horizons

Once the PIN is obtained, the employee should inform Horizons Nigeria by providing their Pension Identification Number. This ensures that Horizons can correctly remit the employee's pension contributions.

For any assistance or further information, employees are encouraged to reach out to their dedicated onboarding specialist at Horizons Nigeria. By completing this process, employees can ensure that their pension contributions are properly managed and remitted according to Nigerian law.
