KUALA LUMPUR, 1 November 2020: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) will allow selected services for appointments to its branches across Sabah beginning Monday, 2 November 2020, from 9am to 2pm on weekdays. This is with the exception of the EPF Tawau branch, which will only reopen on 4 November 2020.
Despite the continued rise in COVID-19 cases, the decision to allow selected services in these branches is to assist members who require access to their savings. The latest summary of all EPF offices and counters affected by the current situation can be found in the Appendix.
In an effort to ensure the safety and health of its members, employers, and staff, the EPF will continue implementing the following measures:
A. Member visits can only be made by appointments via the Janji Temu Online facility within the EPF website www.kwsp.gov.my/janjitemu;
B. Appointments to Sabah branches will only offer the following services:

E. Employers are urged to contact their respective Employer Advisory Officers for advisory and additional info; and
F. Members and employers are advised to opt for EPF’s online services, i-Akaun (Member) and i-Akaun (Employer), which are operating as usual.
The EPF is taking a very cautious stand with regards to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases around the country. While we understand the limitation on available services may pose some inconvenience to the public, we remain focused on prioritising the health and safety of our members and employers from different locations who visit our counters and offices every day.
