Hi, we’re Pensionfriend! Our mission is

To Help People Build a Safe and Sound Financial Future

We help people make the best of Germany's Pension System by making the impact of pension and other investment choices as concrete and tangible as possible.

How it started

In 2018, Nick, Pavel and Chris started Hypofriend. Since its inception, Hypofriend has helped thousands of Germans and Expats across Germany to find and finance their home.

During that time, we faced many questions that revolved around financial advice

Is buying a house enough for our
financial future? Or should we
save more?

where?

Should I rather invest in ETFs

As we answered these questions, over and over again we realized that we kept on stumbling upon the same points:
Customers need a low-cost investment vehicle
Customers need clarity on their pensions
Customers need clarity on what solutions are best

We are commited to your future, so that you can retire with confidence

As we grow older and older, having a good income in old age is more and more important:
We help you forecast your pension and how much you need for a safe future.
We show you the pension impact of early retirement and house buying decisions, as these are essential for your planning.
The German pension system is complex, and has many options that are hard to compare:
We sift through the forest of options so we can identify what options are relevant in the prevailing market conditions.
We calculate the impact of the options, so they are comparable, and you can assess their benefits and their impact on your future income.
Investment choices are complex and overwhelmingly numerous:
We have compared all the key indices against the longest data series available to bring you the most relevant and best choices.
We are transparent in terms of cost and unbiased in our recommendations.

Some of our smart, caring humans that are by your side: quants, financial advisors and pension specialists

Our team has the background to deliver you the best unbiased advice. Here are some of our members, that are dedicated to create clarity in German pensions and find the best solutions.

I compared all the options in Germany before opting for a pension plan. While the requirements might be different for everyone, I found Pensionfriend to be an extremely good offer. So if you want to have a pension that lets you control your portfolio and has the lowest overhead/administrative costs, Pensionfriend is your friend (pun intended)

I had a nice experience with Marvin who was very informative and professional and clarified all of my questions. It was so simple to start my pension with them and love the dashboard where one can see how your pension grows overtime. Great product!

I am probably one of the few people who actually went to their office in Berlin (from Munich) and had meeting. Office is not the most beautiful place in the world but that proves how they save money and to decrease unnecessary cost. Made account recently and it is working good so far. Dimple is very reliable, flexible, and kind and app is easy to see. So far so good ! If you have a money just sitting in the bank, recommend to start this.
