The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has expanded the e-Pengeluaran online facility to include Education Withdrawals, which allows members to submit their application online to withdraw from their EPF savings to fund their own or their children’s education fees at local higher learning institutions.

UM and the EPF have already implemented e-withdrawal where members need to go through the EPF system (http://www.kwsp.gov.my/portal/en/demo/i-akaun-member-login) and all verification will be done online only.

Apart from the convenience of sending applications online, the e-Pengeluaran facility allows members to check the eligible amount for withdrawal for a particular scheme and facilitates the crediting of the approved amount directly into member’s or participating bank’s account.

e-Pengeluaran is available to all members with i-Akaun. Members who have yet to register for i-Akaun can do so by contacting the EPF Call Management Centre or via EPF kiosk or by visiting any EPF branches or via an EPF Mobile Team.

Please provide the details of your payment and yourself (name, matric no new and old, passport/IC) for further checking and attached the proof of the payment via e-mail to bursar_student@um.edu.my.
If you have paid via the online payment system, the receipt will be generated and can be downloaded from student portal.
