What is EPF i-Akaun ???

Since EPF go online years ago, many people are disappointed by the way the website was maintained and updated. However, as time passed by, EPF had successfully undergone a face-lift to its website. If you could notice the changes, I'm brave enough to say that EPF website nowadays is very informative, convenient, and well-organized. 

I know, I know, maybe you are saying: “Is it really so goooood ???”
The fact is, I am not an EPF staff, then why I need to convince you ?
Let's have a look with you own eyes.

From now onwards, there will be an EPF series written in this blog.
In this 1st series, I would like to touch on i-Akaun by EPF.

What is i-Akaun?
i-Akaun is a member’s or an employer’s personal account to be used on the Internet, specifically on myEPF portal. By having this account, users are able to access EPF services that are being offered online.
