ITC International Pensions Limited runs cross-border retirement schemes from Malta. Its schemes let expatriates gather pensions built up in different countries into one scheme under a single fee, with a choice of international investments, and its main audience is the financial advisers and brokers who arrange transfers for clients. The office is at the Nubis Centre on Mosta Road in Lija, a quiet town in the centre of the island close to Mdina and Mosta.
The firm is one of the specialists listed in our directory of pension advisors in Malta. Pension rules differ from country to country and change over time, so what follows describes the firm's services and is not advice.
Background and regulation
ITC International Pensions was established in September 2015 in Malta as a joint venture between Independent Trustee Company Ltd, known as ITC Dublin and one of Ireland's leading providers of self-administered pension structures, and Bastion Holdings Ltd, now part of the Alpine Group, a financial services group in Malta.
The company is authorised and regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority and is registered as a Retirement Scheme Administrator under the Retirement Pensions Act 2011. That registration is what allows it to administer the schemes it offers. The island's role as a base for this kind of work is covered in our overview of financial services in Malta.
Schemes and services
Two products are on offer. The first is the Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme, usually shortened to QROPS, which is a pension scheme set up outside the UK that meets recognition conditions so that UK pension savings can be transferred into it. The second is the Institution for Occupational Retirement Provision scheme, or IORPS, a European category of occupational pension arrangement. Whether either suits a particular person depends on their circumstances and should be discussed with a qualified adviser.
Beyond administering schemes, the firm offers white labelling, which helps advisers and other firms set up retirement schemes under their own arrangements. It also introduces clients to tax experts and independent financial advisers and assists with international pension transfers. Its website carries an adviser hub, scheme documents, a broker portal and articles on topics such as consolidating fragmented pensions for mobile clients and sponsor-linked QROPS. The adviser FAQ page is aimed at financial professionals and covers cross-border transfers, compliance points, portal access and technical product details. Many of its adviser FAQs relate to moving Irish pensions to Malta, reflecting its Dublin heritage.
