Better Support for Employers and Pensioners

The upgraded portal also offers improved services for employers, enabling easier compliance with EPF regulations, contribution management, and employee account administration.

Pensioners are expected to benefit from enhanced access to pension-related information and online service requests through the modernised platform.
