If you are an Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributor and plan on using your EPF funds to finance your own or your children's education at local higher learning institutions (HEIs), you can now submit your withdrawal applications online using e-Pengeluaran.
Introduced in 2013, the e-Pengeluaran facility started with limited housing withdrawals. Now, EPF members with an i-Akaun can make withdrawals for education at these financial institutions: RHB Bank, RHB Islamic, Maybank, Bank Islam, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN), Ambank and United Overseas Bank (UOB).
The e-Pengeluaran facility allows members to check the amount entitled for withdrawal for a particular scheme and facilitates the crediting of the approved amount directly into the member's or participating bank's account.
There are currently 10 higher learning institutions being assessed for integration with e-Pengeluaran, of which three institutions, namely International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Multimedia University (MMU) and Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN), have been confirmed.
e-Pengeluaran is available to all members with i-Akaun. You can register for i-Akaun by contacting the EPF Call Management Centre at 03-8922 6000 or via EPF kiosk or by visiting any EPF branches or via an EPF Mobile Team.
