Fundsback - Refund Your German Pension Contributions

Reviews:

Excellent communication, effective results, and able to deal directly with the challenges the Bundespost and the Pensions Amt present. Very reasonably priced.

Everything was very clear from the beginning about the times and prices.

They handled everything for me and overall it was super easy. They were responsive when I had questions, and I didn't have to write any lengthy letters in German myself, which is all totally worthy of five stars. But just to know for the future, notaries in the US aren't lawyers like in Germany, so they're very limited in their scope and authority. This meant that the notary I went to was initially very confused about what I was actually asking for (since "verifying my identity" isn't something she could technically do). We came up with a solution that involved a handwritten attestation scrawled across the photocopy of my ID with my signature (or something like that), and I got the documents notarized, but even so I wasn't certain that what I was mailing in was actually sufficient for the German authorities, and the notary didn't know either. It would have been nice to feel more confident about what I was sending in, but I'm not sure what Fundsback could really do to help that.

The good: Clear and simple instructions; Quick email communications; 5 months for the entire process; Reasonable fee. Things that could have gone better: (1) The biggest step was to send a bunch of documents via UPS, and I didn’t get confirmation of those documents arriving safely until I actively emailed and asked. (2) Once everything was done and I was told the money would be transferred in a few days, it wasn’t, and that was a little stressful. When I emailed to ask what’s up, the matter was handled quickly—some more info about my bank account was needed. Then a few days later the funds were transferred to my account successfully. All in all, I was very happy with Fundsback, and would definitely recommend it to others who worked in Germany temporarily like me. Of course, I wish I didn’t have to use a service like this, and that the German system made things simpler for foreigners to begin with.

The team are very supportive and professional. They replied my emails quickly. During the process I did not have any trouble with the team and got the money easily. The fee is acceptable for the service they provide. The only thing was it take about 9 months to finish because of the goverment office. I would recommend Fundsback for the person who wants to do it easily and quickly. Thank you very much for your work.

Christian Haas and Fundsback made applying for and receiving my German Pension money, easy and painless. The entire process was a few simple forms and the wait time was a few months. Compared to knowing the headache I would have had applying on my own, the amount paid for their services was worth it. I highly recommend to any expat that needs the assistance and hassle free service!

Fundsback team handled my case promptly and professionally. I thought it would take longer time and the process itself will be complicated. However, everything was smooth and logical. I did get my German pension refunded with the kind help of this company. I am grateful and satisfied with the quality of their services.

The Fundsback Team has helped me claim my German pension. The team is highly professional, guided me step-by-step and made the process seamless and smooth. The team followed-up regularly to ensure that there are no roadblocks in the process. I highly recommend their service.

The process was smooth and simple, funds were collected and delivered to my bank account in Canada. From start to finish took about 7 months. It wasn't always clear to me how things were progressing. It would probably be worth emailing them once a month to check on progress.

The team at Fundsback answered all my questions and made the process extremely streamlined. I submitted my request at the end of November 2022 and received my pension contribution refund very quickly. I am very grateful for the fantastic service from Rene and team.

I was thinking about whether will I get my pension back, but the documentation, communication, and English support from Funds back was amazing. Today I was notified by my Indian bank about Foreign remittance. Thank you funds back team for all the support. Danke.

The guys were extremely efficient. They provided great support, detailed explanation of the process and required documents. Great communication in English and quick feedback over email. I would highly recommend them. Easy and stress free tax return.

The process was very easy and efficient. I was skeptical initially, but the team answered all my questions and guided me through the process. It took a few months, but eventually, with all the right documentation, I received payment from the DRV.

Thank you very much from Ghana. You got my pension contributions back very quickly and without complications. Great work, keep it up and I will gladly recommend you to my friends and old colleagues.

Smooth process, great value and excellent customer service. The team guides you through the entire pension refund process, answering questions promptly and requires minimal effort.

Fundsback is absolutely worth recommending. It makes the refund process really easy, Fundsback made everything easier for me and I didn't have to do anything. Ashwini K. from India

I from India was able to get my pension fund within 3 months!! Signed few docs and they will provide us step by step process to complete the transaction. Trusted service!!

Great team that's easy to communicate with. It's a complex process retrieving your pension funds, but they are very flexible and understanding.
