Nearly two million Romanians are now tracking their private pension savings online through the Pilonul 2 system. Over one million accessed the pilonul2.ro portal in 2026 for information about their pensions. The Pilonul 2 system, established in 2008, allows a portion of social insurance contributions to be directed to individual private pension accounts managed by authorized funds. Participants can identify their fund using their name and CNP, and check their account balance online. The average annual return for these funds has been 8.5%, significantly outpacing inflation. Funds can be accessed upon retirement, in cases of disability, or by heirs. The APAPR has also introduced a virtual assistant for pension-related inquiries.
