January 2026 Pension Payment Dates: Why Some Retirees Will See “Late” Transfers in France—While Guinea’s CNSS Paid Early

January 2026 Pension Payment Dates: Why Some Retirees Will See “Late” Transfers in France—While Guinea’s CNSS Paid Early

As 2025 turns into 2026, pension payment timing is becoming a major talking point—especially for retirees planning budgets right after the holiday season. In France, New Year’s Day (Thursday, January 1, 2026) is a public holiday, and several pension funds do not process transfers on holidays or weekends. The result: some payments that people “expect” on the 1st will be initiated later, and the money may not appear in bank accounts until several days after that. JDN+2Agirc-Arrco+2 At the same time, in Guinea, the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) took the opposite approach—bringing forward January 2026 pension payments to Tuesday,

Milan, February 7, 2026, 10:54 (CET) — Market closed.
