Bank Claims

  • Trade Union Fees
  • Rehabilitation Fund
  • Private Pension
  • Principal Regulations

A bank claim can be created in the online banking system after a declaration report has been sent to Gildi. However, this will not happen until the declaration report has been reviewed. If a discrepancy is found, the claim is established according to the reviewed declaration report!

Please note that the employer is responsible for paying premiums to the fund, even if a claim is not created or is abolished in the online banking system.

If premiums are paid after the final due date, penalty interest is calculated.

If older premium payments are in arrears, the following applies:

If older premiums are in arrears (but have not reached the legal collection threshold), the payment of the bank claim is allocated to older premiums, first for the payment of accrued costs and penalty interest and then to the principal amount as applicable.

In the event that older premium payments are in arrears and have reached the legal collection threshold when a bank claim is paid, the payment is allocated to older arrears, as described in Item 1, where such arrears exist, otherwise to the premiums in accordance with the said bank claim/declaration report. However, Gildi Pension Fund is always allowed to allocate the payment to reduce a claim that is subject to legal collection, cf. further Article 9.10 in Gildi Pension Fund’s Articles of Association.
