PFAs appoint Payone Solution, Afritech for customer data recapture

The Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) have engaged two agents Payone Solution Systems Limited and Afritech Multi Concept Limited to carry out Data Recapture Exercise (DRE) for its contributors and retirees consistent with the National Pension Commissions’ (PenCom’s) approval.

The agents are authorised to establish centres and carry out data recapture for Retirement Savings Account (RSA) holders who are unable to visit the offices of their PFAs, PenCom said in a statement.

PenCom in a recent statement invited all RSA holders to visit any branch of their Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) to participate in the ongoing Data Recapture Exercise (DRE), stating that the exercise is for both active contributors and retirees whose data have not been recaptured.

According to the commission, the DRE is in compliance with the directive of the Federal Government that all data generating organisations should harmonise their databases with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

It is also consistent with the need to have a credible database of all RSA holders in Nigeria, the Commission said.
