News & Reviews:   EPF members

The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) has recently added a new feature to its i-Akaun app which makes it easier for members to perform self contribution to their EPF accounts. As the name would suggest, self contribution or voluntary contribution is funds credited into EPF accounts by members’ themselves which is intended to grow their retirement fund even further.

The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) today iterated that it has never sent an email regarding the 2022 Special Withdrawal application status to its members. This is after EPF members reportedly received fraudulent emails from irresponsible quarters claiming to be the statutory body and that they can check their application status via a malicious link attached to the email.

Shared on its official Facebook page, EPF reminded its members to stay vigilant and to not click on any website links that are suspicious. Furthermore, the statutory body also urged members to thoroughly check emails that they received before responding, so as to ensure that it is from an official channel and not a scammer.
