KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 17 — Contributors to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) can now access their savings online, following the availability of the “EPF i-Akaun” on Apple App Store.
The mobile app allows members to view their profile, obtain the latest news on the EPF, as well as a direction map to its offices, the EPF said in a statement.
The app, in addition, provides contributors with an online calculator to enable them to calculate their estimated yearly EPF contributions, how much is allowed to be withdrawn for housing, and the estimated amount that can be invested through the EPF Members Investment Scheme.
Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Strategy) Tunku Alizakri Raja Muhammad Alias said the ability to access EPF statements online, has helped members ensure their contributions are accurate and any discrepancies, detected faster.
“The introduction of the mobile app and other electronic channels are in tandem with the decrease in the number of members visiting EPF branches to do simple things such as printing out EPF statements.
“We have a huge member database and it is important to extend our services to a larger audience. We find that the mobile app has been very effective in serving this purpose,” he added.
The iOS users can download the “EPF i-Akaun” mobile application for free from Apple App Store. — Bernama
