What the law requires of a pension fund

Private pension funds are subject to 115‑FZ. Below are the duties that bear directly on signing a contract, transferring savings and making payouts.
NeuroVision supplies the data for checking the client and the documents. Identification through the state services portal, the Unified Biometric System or an electronic signature, decisions on the contract and the payout, freezing funds and reporting to Rosfinmonitoring are the fund's own job.

  • The fund's clients

    115‑FZ, art. 7 — pension funds are among the organisations listed in article 5.

    About simplified identification

    Before taking the customer on

    • Identify the client, their representative and the beneficiary (art. 7)

    Simplified identification

    • When a contract with a pension fund is signed — allowed for an individual if the conditions are met (art. 7, cl. 1.11)
    • The client's details are confirmed through state information systems or the state services portal — the name, the passport, the social insurance number or the tax number (cl. 1.12–1.13)

    Updating the records

    • Once a year, or once every 3 years at low risk
  • A contract without an office visit

    75‑FZ and 124‑FZ — a long-term savings contract online.

    More about the Unified Biometric System

    From 01.10.2025 · 124‑FZ

    • A long-term savings contract — electronically through the state services portal
    • The saver's signature — qualified or unqualified, issued within the state services infrastructure (75‑FZ, art. 36.39)

    With no personal presence

    • Identification — through the state services portal and the Unified Biometric System (art. 7, cl. 5.8, 572‑FZ)

    An agent bank

    • The fund may delegate identification to a bank under contract (art. 7, cl. 1.5-9)
  • Watchlists, payouts and legal successors

    115‑FZ — watchlists, politically exposed persons and payouts to third parties.

    Watchlist screening

    Watchlists

    • Screen the client against the Rosfinmonitoring watchlists — on intake and when the details are updated
    • Freeze the funds under the national list and the Commission's decisions — within 24 hours of publication

    Politically exposed persons

    • A foreign politically exposed person — only by a written decision of management

    Payouts

    • A beneficiary under a contract in favour of a third party must be identified before the payout (art. 7, cl. 1.4-8)
    • A legal successor must apply for the savings within 6 months of the date of death

Six tasks for a pension fund

The long-term savings programme has brought funds a flow of clients who never visit an office, and with it transfers of savings and payouts to heirs. Here are the tasks funds solve with NeuroVision checks.

  • A long-term savings contract without an office visit

    The client photographs their passport — the data is read with no manual entry. The passport, the social insurance number and the tax number are checked against state databases, and the client against watchlists and sanctions. Identity is confirmed by your own procedure: the state services portal, an electronic signature or an agent bank.

  • A transfer of pension savings

    Before you accept an application to transfer savings into the fund, check that the passport is valid, that the social insurance number belongs to that person and that the phone number is theirs and not an intermediary's.

The state services portal and the biometric system confirm identity — NeuroVision checks the client and the documents

  • The state services portal, the biometric system and an electronic signature — who is in front of you

    When a contract is signed remotely, identity is confirmed by state systems: a state services portal account, the Unified Biometric System, an electronic signature certificate. We do not replace that step.

  • NeuroVision tells you whether you can do business with them

    Whether the passport is valid, whether the social insurance number and the phone number belong to that person, whether they are on a watchlist or under sanctions, whether they are a politically exposed person, whether the document shows signs of forgery. The fund uses the results in its own procedure.

  • Where the state services portal is not involved

    Legal successors with certificates and handwritten applications, the office and the agent bank, updating client details once a year or once every 3 years.

The order of identification is set by the law and your own procedure.
NeuroVision provides the checks for every step.

How a client and a legal successor are checked

The checks are built into the fund's client portal, its website or the agent bank's system and return an answer before the fund accepts the application.

Step 1

Documents with no manual entry

The passport of the client or the legal successor, the certificates and the handwritten application are read from a photo or a scan. The document is checked for forgery and traces of editing.

Step 2

The checks in a single request

Passport validity, the social insurance number, the tax number, the phone number, the Rosfinmonitoring watchlist, sanctions and PEP screening — only what your procedure requires.

Checking a pension fund client: passport, social insurance number, tax number, watchlists, sanctions and phone number
Step 3

The decision stays with the fund

For every check — the result, the source and the date, in JSON. The fund's rules accept the application, ask for documents or send it to a manual review.

The application check results in the fund's system: the source and the date for every check

Products and checks for pension funds

Every check is enabled separately and you pay for the requests performed. Descriptions, sources and response fields are in the API check catalogue.

Frequently asked questions about client checks at a pension fund

Yes. Private pension funds are among the organisations listed in article 5 of the law. When a contract with the fund is signed, the law allows simplified identification of an individual if the transaction raises no suspicion and the client is not on a watchlist.

No. Identity is confirmed by the state services portal, the Unified Biometric System or an electronic signature, and the identification procedure is run by the fund or by the bank it has delegated it to. NeuroVision checks the client and the documents: the passport, the social insurance number and the tax number against state databases, plus watchlists, sanctions, PEP screening and signs of forgery.

Since 1 October 2025 the contract can be signed through the state services portal with a qualified or unqualified electronic signature issued within the portal's infrastructure. On the fund's own website the contract is signed under the fund's procedure. In both cases NeuroVision checks are built in before or after signing.

The name, the passport details and one of the numbers — the social insurance number, the tax number or a compulsory health insurance policy — confirmed through state systems. At NeuroVision, passport validity, validating the social insurance number and retrieving the tax number cost 5 ₽ each per check.

Read their passport, the certificates and the payout application, then check passport validity, the watchlists and sanctions. A legal successor applies for the savings within six months of the participant's death; the fund checks the documents before deciding on the payout.

Yes. The best results come from fields filled in block letters inside boxes or on the lines of the form. For every field the service returns a confidence score, and doubtful fields can be sent to an employee. Cursive handwriting — on request, on your own samples. More about handwritten applications.

Check the documents and the contacts before accepting the application: 40+ anti-fraud document checks find traces of editing and screen photos, passport validity is confirmed with the police, and a phone number check shows whether the number belongs to the client and how long it has been in use.

In the NeuroVision cloud in Russia or inside the fund's infrastructure with an on-premises installation. 152‑FZ and 242‑FZ.

Checks against databases and lists start at 5 ₽, compliance screening costs 36 ₽, and a package of 16 checks costs 50 ₽. Document and handwritten application recognition and anti-fraud are priced on request. Test access is granted the same day.
