Less well known is that the city is also home to important institutions of Swiss pension and insurance provision. PensExpert has its headquarters here, and shares the city with a prominent neighbour.
The neighbour in question is Suva, the Swiss National Accident Insurance Fund. Like PensExpert, it has its headquarters in Lucerne and is one of the best-known social insurers in the country. Suva insures a large part of the workforce in Switzerland against the consequences of occupational accidents, non-occupational accidents and occupational illnesses. Founded over a hundred years ago, it is a fixed institution in the Swiss social system. Not the Central Compensation Office or the Federal Compensation Office, both located in Geneva and Bern respectively, but Suva shares the Lucerne location with PensExpert.
That several important actors in social security are based in the same city is no coincidence but shows the importance of Lucerne as a location for pension and insurance provision. For PensExpert, Central Switzerland is both home and root.
