About Us

Expertise in the Heart of Germany

Germany Pension Refund was established in 2015. We are based in Berlin - the same city as the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund headquarters.

The company started out small, helping our friends and former expat co-workers claim refunds on their pension contributions. Our reputation for delivering fast and secure refunds spread quickly by word of mouth, and soon we were helping expats from all over the world.

Over the years, we’ve grown to become the market leader in securing German pension refunds. We’ve built strong relationships with legal experts and a range of industries across Germany.

Our Mission

When we first started Germany Pension Refund, we noticed a lack of information about the German pension refund process.

There was (and still is) also a lot of misleading information about who is eligible to claim a refund.

We know that many applicants simply give up during the complex bureaucratic refund process. Applications are often wrongfully rejected, and many people are put off by the language barrier and lack of communication from the pension office.

So, we made it our mission to shine a light on the common misconceptions about claiming a German pension refund.

We provide a professional service to expats from all over the world, who want to claim their German retirement insurance contribution reimbursement. Our streamlined process will save you a lot of stress, time, money, and effort compared to a self-submission. Our trusted legal partners will take care of your entire refund process, including all German language correspondence with the Deutsche Rentenversicherung.

With our experience and expertise, our team knows how to speed up the German Pension Refund process, so you’ll receive your funds quicker. Our customers typically receive their refunds within 8 weeks on average – compared to the 6+ months when self-submitting.
