Schwiizerfranke has also been invested in Viac for over 6 years and a lot has happened since then with Pillar 3a as well as with Viac. In this article, you can find out how the app was used, how customer support was and what else influenced the Viac experience. viac review!
After the year is over and we have gathered some points of contact, we can give you our Viac experience report in one word: Terrific! The app is very intuitive and clear and never caused any problems. The strategies can be adjusted individually every month, which we also used a lot. The fees are extremely low and the Viac performance is therefore very good.
In January we automatically received the message that the tax report was ready and so we were able to start the tax settlement on time.
Free basic protection: In the event of disability or death, you will receive up to 25 % in addition to your pension assets. For every CHF 10,000 invested, VIAC will provide you with free insurance cover of CHF 2,500 (max. CHF 250,000) in the event of death or disability (70% - IV degree).
Intuitive app: It is easy to understand, it is well designed and you can perform all necessary tasks in it.

We have compiled our top selection for you from all our tests and experience reports:
Viac performance stands and falls with your investment strategy. Yes, Viac also offers you a "normal 3a interest account" with current interest of 0.15 %. But this is unlikely to attract most customers to Viac. There are other banks that currently pay you around 0.25 % interest, as you can see in our Interest rate comparison you can see. 0.25 % performance is nothing, however, compared to the average 8.3 % over the last 10 years in the Viac Global 100 strategy. You can see this in the Viac Performance Report.
In the past, a high equity allocation led to good performance. What then reduces the return even further are the fees. At Frankly strategies with a high equity ratio are more favorable than with Viac.
However, the future cannot always be derived from the past, of course. The 3a account is used for long-term retirement planning and should not necessarily be used to implement active investment strategies. With the 5 different accounts, however, you can of course pursue different strategies and then staggered to reduce the risk in old age. If you like Viac's digital 3rd pillar, but would like a little more advice, it's worth taking a look at Selma Finance. Compared to Viac, Selma not only manages your 3rd pillar, but also your entire assets if you wish.
The normal management fees are 0.40 % on the invested assets. Depending on the strategy, there are also product costs. Certain shares, ETFs or commodity bonds are of course not free for Viac. These (small) fees are of course also incurred by you if you use the corresponding products. Viac has recently introduced a Fee cap, i.e. a cap on fees at a maximum of 0.40 %! At Fees FAQ you will find all further questions and answers about the Viac Fees. Yes, there are cheaper providers such as Frankly from ZKB, but this depends mainly on the strategy chosen. This does not have a negative impact on our Viac experience report.
Since there is from Viac a "Invite friends"program, you can even make your first Manage CHF 1,500 free of charge and save on the administration fee! So when you open your account, invite friends right away and get the coupon. Feel free to leave your code in the comments, then it will be even faster for you and others can also benefit from it.
In the big Pillar 3a comparison Finpension in particular stands out very positively.
The pillar 3a offering from Finpension is not only somewhat younger, but also cheaper than Viac's offering. Furthermore, Finpension offers a wide range of investment strategies to choose from, which is also customisable. The offer is complemented by a very exciting vested benefits facility and good customer service. Finpension so you should definitely look at it as a Viac alternative.
The digital pillar 3a offering of Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB) goes by the name of Frankly and is very popular. The digtal pension solution is inexpensive, innovative and particularly suitable for long-term investments with high equity ratios.
Since the tax report is sent automatically in January, Viac Taxes no problem. Without an application and without paperwork, the tax assessment is conveniently sent to you. When you file your tax return, you submit it and claim back the corresponding taxes. In the Tax table you can see how much tax you can refund in your canton of residence on your income.

Viac revolutionises the pension market with its 3a solution. What stands out in a particularly positive way is the Free "Basic protection" add-on in the form of cover in the event of disability or death.
All in all, the Viac package is right, and you will find a very good fair and good product offered. The Viac performance is very good, thanks to a high equity quota of up to 98 %, it is thus possible to build up assets well over the long term with the 3rd pillar.
The Viac Fees are very loweven if Finpension is more favourable. Depending on the strategy chosen, it may also be Frankly be cheaper and more attractive.
