About us
Fundsback was founded in 2015 because the path to a German pension refund was too complicated for international clients. Forms in German, authorities without English support, unclear rules depending on nationality and residence.
Today we have handled 3,500+ documented cases worldwide. Every case is reviewed and supported by an external lawyer. All communication with authorities runs exclusively through the law firm, and refunds are processed through an escrow account (Notaranderkonto).
How we work
All cases are handled by an external law firm (Gerlex Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH). Communication with the Deutsche Rentenversicherung runs exclusively through this firm. Refunds are processed through an escrow account (Notaranderkonto) — your money is never unsecured.
You have a dedicated contact person at all times. Through your personal dashboard you can track your case status in real time. For questions you can reach us by email, chat, or meeting — no waiting queue, no call center.
After 3,500+ cases since 2015, we have seen almost every situation — treaty countries, special cases, missing documents, gaps in insurance records. It is exactly in difficult cases where our experience makes the difference.

Worldwide
Fundsback serves clients on every continent. Most cases come from the US, Canada, Australia, India, Brazil, Japan, and the Middle East. No matter where you live today — if you paid into the German system, we can check whether you have a claim.
The entire process runs online and in English. You don't need to speak German or visit a German authority. We handle all communication with the Deutsche Rentenversicherung on your behalf.
Whether pension refund, regular pension claim, or widow pension — your location does not change how the process works. The main differences come from treaties between Germany and your country of residence, which we factor in automatically during the Pension Check.
