In the near future, individuals may be able to receive a lump sum payment of up to 10% of their pension/retirement capital upon retirement, which will result in permanently lower future payments. The Nibud (a Dutch consumer protection organization) investigated a tool designed to provide insights into the consequences of this option, but encountered legal and technical limitations related to data privacy (AVG).
