Before you ask, no, you cannot opt out!

According to the official announcement, the restructuring applies to all EPF members, including non-Malaysians under 55 as of 11 May 2024, when the initiative kicked off.

To recap, EPF's account restructuring initiative has divided its members' existing two accounts into three accounts. As announced by EPF, these three accounts are:
- Akaun Persaraan: Replaces Account 1, designated for retirement savings
- Akaun Sejahtera: Replaces Account 2, tailored for life cycle needs
- Akaun Fleksibel: Allows withdrawals for short-term needs

While existing balances will remain in Akaun Persaraan and Sejahtera, new contributions will be divided, with 75% going to Persaraan, 15% to Sejahtera, and 10% to Account 3 (Fleksibel).

EPF members have the option to transfer a portion of their Akaun Sejahtera balance to the new Account 3 (Fleksibel) from 12 May to 31 August. It's a one-time option; if not utilised, the funds will remain in Sejahtera.

Just a reminder before proceeding; this initial transfer can only be made once and it cannot be cancelled. However, there's no rush to do it right now, as you have until 31 August 2024 to make the transfer.

Below are the steps to guide you through making the initial transfer:
