Focus on Germany (occupational pension plans, labor law requirements). The GDPR is implicitly addressed (a data protection page is available).
Feature Scope
DYNO offers commission-free, ETF-based occupational pension plans for companies in Germany. Instead of broker commissions, employers pay a monthly SaaS fee. DYNO states that eliminating commissions could increase long-term pension benefits by up to €150,000. Supplementary health insurance is optional.
The platform combines digital administration with personal support. Companies can synchronize employee and contract data with HR tools, while DYNO automates communication with insurers about events such as contribution changes, parental leave and long-term illness. Contract documents, contributions, pension projections and ETF performance are available in a central dashboard.
Implementation is described as low-effort, with a joint onboarding appointment, team onboarding and a dedicated contact person. DYNO cites setup times of approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Employees can access digital advice, including video calls, and manage their plans through self-service.
- Product choice: More than 20 insurers and a selection of over 70 to more than 100 ETFs, supported by comparisons and the DYNO Score.
- Employee options: Adjust contributions, choose ETFs and transfer a pension plan when changing jobs.
- Costs: €0 per month for employees using DYNO through their employer, or €4.90 per month for self-activation with employer consent.
- Communication and compliance: Internal communication materials, digital documentation and automatic reminders support employer obligations.
- Ecosystem: Connections with HR tools, insurers, tax advisors, payroll providers and benefit platforms. DYNO cites more than 500 companies and 15,000 employees as references.
