How does it work?
Opening an account
You can open an OTP NYESZ-R Retirement Savings Account at any time and at any one of our branches. Each account holder may have only one Retirement Savings Account.
Savings
You will need to pay in at least HUF 5,000 when you open your OTP Retirement Savings Account. Your savings on the account may be one-off or regular, and you will have access to a wide range of securities: you can purchase the investment funds managed by OTP Fund Management Ltd. and distributed in OTP Bank’s network, government securities, securities traded on the BSE and bonds issued by OTP Bank; you can also participate in subscriptions and/or auctions of securities sold in public offerings, or buy and sell securities issued in HUF or a foreign currency, and listed on regulated markets.
You can also give us a standing order to buy securities for your NYESZ-R account.
Payment
You will be able to withdraw your savings from your NYESZ-R account tax-free if you can evidence that you are entitled to a pension and if the 10th tax year since the tax year in which you opened the account has ended. If you terminate the account and withdraw your savings without it qualifying as a pension benefit (you are not yet retired and/or 10 tax years have not yet passed since the account was opened), you will be liable for personal income tax and social contribution tax. Also, you will not be eligible to declare any pre-savings subsidy for that tax year and you must repay the amount of pre-savings subsidy already claimed plus 20%.
