For 25 years, PTPTN has provided an opportunity for all Malaysians to pursue tertiary education without having to worry about financial restraints

Making up a branch of the government's effort to forward the minds of young people (and mature people alike), the past few years have seen a radical shift in the mechanisms being made available to the public in relation to accessing PTPTN.

Among them include the various ways in which borrowers can now make repayments steadily and securely. Though some prefer to make all their payments in person, others opt for the handy myPTPTN app via their phones. Meeting the technological advancement half-way, you can also log on to your computers and get the process done just as swiftly through their online portal.

Here are nine simple steps to repay your outstanding PTPTN balance via their website:

1. Telephone a PTPTN office and inform them of your intention to repay your outstanding amount

Now now, let's not rush our way into making the payment. How do we start?

Firstly, you'll have to telephone one of the PTPTN branch offices to notify them of your intention to make a quick repayment. For those with easy access to a mobile phone, you can search the list of their branches all throughout the nation, and call the outlet closest to your location.

Thankfully, however, PTPTN has also introduced numerous methods of contacting them since the pandemic began. These other options include their careline, a live chat agent, an e-aduan officer, and even through a social media officer.

During your call, you should receive a password for your respective account. That way, you'll be able to access your balance after logging into their portal.
