Pension with Irish Life
Your pension is set up as soon as you enrol and define your contribution percentage in Kota’s mobile app. Contributions will be taken to your pot from the next payroll onwards (if you enrol before the 10th of the month; otherwise, only on the following month’s payroll). However, your access to the Irish Life Portal (Pension Planet) might be slightly delayed. If you’ve enrolled in a scheme that was recently created by your employer, it might still be in its installation phase with Irish Life, as the provider has Revenue and Regulatory requirements they need to fulfil - this can take 12 to 16 weeks. If you’re joining an existing scheme, then you should be receiving your Pension Planet accesses from Irish Life about one week after enrolling.
