Why Take Out a Life Insurance Policy in Switzerland?

The 3rd Pillar in Switzerland: a key tool for your future – with the support of Crédit Conseils

In Switzerland, the pension system is based on three pillars:

  • 1st pillar (AVS/AI): covers basic living needs in retirement.
  • 2nd pillar (LPP): helps maintain a reasonable standard of living.
  • 3rd pillar: allows you to complement your retirement savings on an individual and voluntary basis.

It is this 3rd pillar, often underestimated, that enables you to take control of your financial future while already enjoying concrete benefits today.

Main Features of the 3rd Pillar

  • Voluntary savings for retirement, buying a home, or protection in case of hardship (disability, death).
  • Two types of 3rd pillar:
    • Pillar 3a (restricted): annual contribution limits, but strong tax advantages.
    • Pillar 3b (flexible): no contribution limits, suitable for various projects or needs.
  • Option to combine savings with insurance coverage (death, disability).
  • Payouts at maturity can be in the form of a lump sum or annuity, depending on the contract.

Financial and Tax Benefits of Life Insurance

  • Tax savings: contributions to Pillar 3a are deductible from taxable income (up to CHF 7,056 for employees with a 2nd pillar, in 2024).
  • Retirement preparation: an essential complement to maintain your standard of living.
  • Home ownership: possibility of using the funds to finance the purchase of your primary residence.
  • Financial protection: in the event of unforeseen circumstances, you and your loved ones benefit from additional security.

With Crédit Conseils, you gain peace of mind and a stronger financial future, backed by expert guidance every step of the way.
