  19. 3rd pillar The System of complementary pension savings which has already existed in Slovakia is in the process of transformation. According to the Act No. 650 Coll. all complementary pension insurance companies that had operated in the field of pension savings before January 1, 2005 had to submit transformation project to FMA/NBS. The set up of new company was pre - conditioned by granting a new license. Three licenses have already been granted, the fourth and last one will be granted in the near future.
