Decrease in pension payments via postal service in Czechia

In Czechia, 20% of pensions are still delivered by post, but this number is steadily declining. Last year, the Czech Social Security Administration (ČSSZ) delivered 600,000 out of 2.83 million pensions via post, with a fee of 35 CZK per delivery. The majority of pensioners now receive their payments directly into bank accounts. The number of pensions delivered by post has been decreasing annually, with a significant drop from over 1.8 million in 2004 to less than 600,000 in 2022.
