PSA about Freizügigkeitsstiftungen

Recently there have been a lot of posts about what to do when you leave Switzerland and want to cash out your 2nd pillar.

Be aware that there can be a high fee when withdrawing from a Freizügigkeitsstiftung when you are abroad.

E.g finpension charges 1000CHF if you have been a customer for less than a year.
