acquired/obtained
Explanation:
The great virtue of the word 'aangekocht' is that it can be used, on the one hand, to mean 'purchased' or 'bought' but it can also be used to mean 'acquired' or 'obtained'. These are all Van Dale definitions of the word. It is therefore a very useful word when some currency other than money is used to acquire a good or service.

bought


Explanation:
Additional insurance can be bought. For example, if a person changes jobs towards the end of their carreer, they can use their pension from previous employment to "buy" insurance at the next employer. If one does not change jobs, some organisations allow you to "buy-back" years that you did not work for a particular organisation, in order to increase the pension you will receive at the organisation upon retirement.

Explanation:
purchased or acquired would sound better then 'bought' I think.
