KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 11, 2014): The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) may declare a dividend of up to 6.4% for last year, up from 6.15% in 2012.

Sources said the dividend is expected to be announced next week.

They're hard pressed to ensure members keep their funds in EPF rather than take it out. So they have no choice but to declare a higher dividend to entice them.

EPF is finalizing 2013 dividend?

A maintenance activity is being carried out on 14 February 2014 (Friday) from 5.30 p.m to 16 February 2014 (Sunday), 3.00 a.m. This activity will cause the i-Akaun to be inaccessible during this time.

The i-Akaun facilities will only be accessible and operate as usual after 3.00 a.m, on 16 February 2014.

We apologise for any inconveniences caused.

Wah, I am impressed. You really are very resourceful and knowledgeable on EPF dividends!

Sauce: EPF

The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) today launched its first mobile application, called ‘EPF i-Akaun’. Members can now access their EPF savings from the palm of their hands.

260,000 EPF accounts earn zero dividends
The EPF has since 2008 stopped paying dividends to account holders once they turn 75

KUALA LUMPUR: Several million ringgit in the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) accounts of some 260,000 contributors aged above 75, have been earning zero dividends.

Whether it is known to them or not, the EPF has since 2008 stopped paying dividends to account holders once they turn 75.

EPF corporate affairs unit head Nik Affendi Jaafar, who confirmed the existence of the policy, said despite this, some 260,000 members have retained their money in the fund.

EPF's Response To The News Report Published in The Sun, 22/9/2014

The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) refers to a news report published in The Sun today regarding EPF members not receiving any dividends after age 75.
 
The EPF would like to clarify that all members who have savings with the fund, including those aged 75 and above, have always been receiving their annual due dividends.
 
The policy as approved in 2008 has not been implemented other than to encourage members to be aware of the risk of their funds being transferred to unclaimed moneys if they are not utilized. In this respect, the EPF is no different from financial institutions such as banks, who have similar policies.
 
The EPF is cognizant of the potential misinterpretation and is in the final stages to amend the EPF Act 1991 to ensure members receive a steady stream of income from their savings even after they retire.
