Does that pension fund administrator appear on the PenCom register?
Under the Pension Reform Act, a Pension Fund Administrator appearing on PenCom's register may manage a Retirement Savings Account, and a Custodian appearing there may hold the money. PenCom lists its operators on three pages; this page joins them into one table of 26 names as accessed on 3 September 2026.

The short answer
The PenCom lists of pension operators listed 26 entries when accessed on 3 September 2026. Search the table below for the exact name on the document in front of you. A match means the register printed that name on that date. It is the regulator’s record, not Ranked’s verdict, and it does not by itself prove the licence is valid today.

A row here is what the register showed on 3 September 2026. Nothing more
Regulators update these registers by hand and they lag revocations, expiries, suspensions and name changes. A row on this page means the register listed that name on the access date. Nothing more. It is not a statement by Ranked that the licence is valid today, and absence from the list does not prove that a business lacks approval (a licence may post-date the access date, or the register may print a different legal name). PenCom's lists are small and change rarely, mostly through mergers and acquisitions among PFAs; a PFA that merged after the access date may still appear under its old name here. Anyone offering to "manage your pension" who is absent from the PFA list should not be treated as a listed PFA, whatever other registration it may have.

Questions people ask
- How many Pension Fund Administrators appear on PenCom's lists?
- PenCom's operator lists carried 26 names when accessed on 3 September 2026: 19 pension fund administrator (pfa)s, 4 closed pension fund administrator (cpfa)s, 3 pension fund custodian (pfc)s.
- What is the difference between a PFA, a CPFA and a PFC?
- A Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) opens and manages Retirement Savings Accounts for the public. A Closed PFA (CPFA) manages a scheme for one employer's staff only and cannot take outside members. A Pension Fund Custodian (PFC) holds the pension assets and settles transactions on the PFA's instruction; the PFA never holds the money itself.
- Is a pension scheme legitimate if the company appears here?
- The name appears on the PenCom register as accessed on 3 September 2026. This is the regulator's record, not Ranked's finding. Confirm the name on your RSA statement matches, and check PenCom's site directly before moving an account.
Methodology
What this page is, and is not
- Source and date
- The PenCom lists of pension operators, fetched from the National Pension Commission’s own site on 3 September 2026. Names and classes are printed as the register prints them, including the regulator’s own spellings. Nothing is added from memory or from third-party lists.
- Order
- Rows appear in the order the register lists them. Ranked does not rank regulated entities here, and no Ranked product appears in any register on this page.
- Links to Ranked listings
- Some names link to a Ranked listing. A link is made only when the register name, after dropping legal suffixes, matches exactly one listing in a category that fits this regulator, and a second signal agrees (the website domain, the CAC number, or a distinctive name of three or more words). One-word and two-word names with no second signal, and names that fit several listings, are left unlinked. The link connects two records of the same name; it is not a statement that the listed business holds the licence.
- What Ranked does not do
- Ranked does not certify, grade or independently determine any entity’s licence status. Where a name match is ambiguous, treat it as unresolved and verify with the PenCom directly. For money decisions, open the regulator’s links above rather than relying on any third-party page, including this one.
Cadence: the register is re-fetched and the access date on this page updated on each refresh. Licence status can change after 3 September 2026.
