High admin effort
Complex implementation

For maximum impact with minimum effort

The ginkgo bAV is a modern financial product: ETF-based, commission-free and with low running costs. Because bAV also deserves modern financial products.

With the ginkgo app, employees have 24/7 access to their company pension, with full transparency regarding contributions and fees. This keeps bAV always top-of-mind and allows for easy and flexible management, such as adjusting contributions at any time.

On the ginkgo platform for people/HR, all events relating to bAV are automatically recorded and processed digitally. Integration with HRIS & Payroll takes <30 minutes. This keeps bAV admin for people/HR to a minimum.
Using an API or ASCII interface, ginkgo can be integrated with over 40 HRIS and payroll systems — for maximum quick set-up.

ginkgo supports or takes over the entire launch process. With suitable materials and launch sessions, tailored to your company — for effective and authentic communication.

Our team of experts is always available to answer technical or subject-related questions about bAV — before and after the launch. This way, ginkgo takes the complexity of bAV completely off your plate.
Together with the company, ginkgo defines the optimal bAV program — with professional expertise, market benchmarks and, if necessary, budgeting support.
ginkgo takes over the complete technical set-up, including seamless integration with existing HR and payroll systems.
ginkgo takes care of planning and provides communication materials and formats to optimally prepare employees & HR teams for launch.
The new bAV goes live. ginkgo delivers the launch presentation, hosts Q&A sessions, and drives employee activation. For a successful start.
As part of the ginkgo bAV launch in the company, ginkgo also supports the implementation of existing bAV contracts on the ginkgo platform. This allows all documents and activities related to bAV to be consolidated on a single platform. In coordination with the company, ginkgo also supports the transition from existing bAV contracts to the ginkgo bAV, as well as the transfer of bAV capital for new employees.
No, the ginkgo bAV is commission-free. There are no hidden commissions or high brokerage fees.
Implementing ginkgo bAV in a company is quick and easy. Employers can set up the ginkgo platform in less than 30 minutes — the platform integrates seamlessly with existing HR systems. Administration is digital and automated — with minimal admin effort.
You can simply take your pension with you if your new employer agrees — and continue saving as usual. Alternatively, you can exempt your bAV from contributions, continue it privately or transfer the accumulated capital into a new company pension plan.
