Millions of Expats Are Sitting on Forgotten Pensions They Can't Access. This Service Finds Them

LONDON - April 2, 2026 - PRLog -- Millions of Expats Are Sitting on Forgotten Pensions They Can't Access. This Service Finds Them.

PensionHunter launches across 11 countries to help international workers recover retirement savings lost across borders

LONDON, 1 March 2026 — When you leave a country, your pension doesn't follow you.

For millions of people who have worked internationally, retirement savings accumulated across multiple countries sit unclaimed — not because the money is gone, but because navigating foreign pension systems, language barriers, and expired local identification is effectively impossible from abroad.

Today, BatterseaPark Capital Ltd launches PensionHunter, a pension tracing service that searches retirement registries across 11 countries on behalf of expats and international workers — and reports back within 14 days.

The scale of the problem is significant

According to the Pensions Policy Institute, £31 billion sits across 3.3 million forgotten pension pots in the UK alone. The Australian Tax Office estimates over $16 billion in lost superannuation. In the Netherlands, a quirk of the national identification system means expats who have left the country cannot access the pension register at all — leaving entitlements effectively locked behind a digital wall.

For people who have worked across multiple countries — as employees, contractors, or on working visas — the problem compounds. Each country has its own system, its own language, its own bureaucracy.

From months of letters to 14 days

Traditionally, tracing a pension meant writing to multiple institutions, waiting weeks for responses, and repeating the process in every country worked in. Many people give up.

PensionHunter replaces this with a structured research process supported by automated tools that work across all 11 active countries simultaneously.

The service:

• Searches national pension registries and employer records
• Traces company histories — including merged and dissolved employers
• Processes documents in multiple languages
• Generates claim correspondence for each provider
• Delivers a written report within 14 days

Not just for working expats

The service also helps families searching for pension entitlements on behalf of relatives with dementia or loss of capacity, and executors tracing pension assets within estates. In both cases a Lasting Power of Attorney or grant of probate is accepted.
