Many of us need to be made aware that there is an alternative repayment method for PTPTN loans, which is using the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) Account II.
What does EPF withdrawal for PTPTN loan repayment mean?
EPF allows contributors or their family members to withdraw funds from their Account II to repay their PTPTN education loan. This application can be made online through e-Withdrawal on the EPF official website.
Advantages of repaying PTPTN loan via EPF
- Borrowers can use savings from their own or their spouse's (husband/ wife), children's, and/ or parents' Account II (subject to withdrawal conditions).
- There is no withdrawal limit; borrowers can pay off any outstanding amount, a portion of the loan or the entire balance of their PTPTN education loan.
- Can make withdrawals more than once, as long as there is a balance in Account II.
- No processing fees.
- Enjoy savings on service fees and shorten the repayment period.
- Even if borrowers have already repaid their PTPTN loan through salary deductions or direct debit, repayment via EPF is still allowed.
- No supporting documents are required for subsequent withdrawals.
