Where to Find Your Code

• The employer's PenCom code is issued during registration with PenCom
• Check the employer's PenCom registration certificate
• Contact PenCom or the employer's PFA for the code

Finora Integration

Finora does not currently have a field for the PenCom employer code in Business Settings. The code can be: - Included in the Description field when exporting pension schedules - Added manually to the PenPay CSV before upload

Common Issues

• "I don't have a PenCom code" → The employer may not be registered with PenCom. Registration is required for all employers with 3+ employees. Guide them to register at pencom.gov.ng.
• "My PenPay upload was rejected" → The PenCom employer code may be missing or incorrect. Verify the code with PenCom directly.
