Peru Sets 6 p.m. Monday Deadline for Eighth AFP Withdrawals and Rectifications

The measure permits withdrawals of up to 4 UIT (S/22,000) per person following the 2026 increase in the UIT value.

Overview

  • Pension fund administrators will accept virtual requests until 6:00 p.m. on January 19, with registration windows limited to weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. except holidays.
  • A second request is only available to affiliates who withdrew less than the cap in their first request, retain an available balance, and keep the total under S/22,000.
  • Rectification methods vary: Integra, Hábitat, and Prima enable the process on their digital platforms, while Profuturo channels it through its Libro de Reclamaciones.
  • Deposits take roughly one month, so affiliates who applied on December 19 are scheduled to receive their first UIT around January 19.
  • The SBS urges members to evaluate the decision carefully because repeated withdrawals erode retirement savings in a system with limited coverage.
