Flexible Housing Withdrawal

Boost Your Borrowing Power

You can use your current and future EPF savings to help increase your eligibility limit for obtaining a housing loan from your financial institutions.

How It Works

  • You set aside part of the savings in your Akaun Sejahtera to a Flexible Housing Withdrawal account.

  • When evaluating your loan eligibility, the financial institution considers your monthly EPF contribution as part of your income.

  • Higher loan eligibility means you can now afford the home you've always wanted!

*The minimum savings period is one (1) year and ring fencing can only be used for one (1) house at a time. The maximum savings period is up to age 55, or subject to the date of your last housing loan or last day of ring fencing (whichever is earlier).

About Flexible Housing Withdrawal Account

  • The savings in this account cannot be used for Housing, Education, Health and Age 50 Withdrawal.

    *The savings in your Akaun Sejahtera can still be used for the above purposes.

  • The money you've set aside into this account belongs to you, and will not be assigned to the financial institution.

  • You will still receive an annual dividend for the savings in this account but it will be credited to your Akaun Sejahtera.

  • You can withdraw the savings in this account once you have reached age 55 or in the case of Death, Incapacitation, Leaving The Country or Pensionable Employee Withdrawal.
