The Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF) has launched an innovative feature known as the “Transfer of Savings on Entitlement”. This initiative provides enhanced financial flexibility for its members starting this year.
With this new offering, FNPF members approaching significant entitlement events, such as retirement, have the opportunity to transfer a portion of their savings into a loved one’s FNPF account. This represents a noteworthy evolution from the traditional contribution-based system and responds to the distinctive financial circumstances of its members.
FNPF Chief Executive Officer, Viliame Vodonaivalu, noted that this advancement was made possible by recent amendments to the FNPF Act of 2011, allowing members to delegate part or all of their entitlement payouts under specific conditions. This feature not only enables the transfer of entitlement payouts or benefits to other FNPF members but also supports scenarios like medical incapacitation or death, ensuring financial security for families.
This initiative is part of FNPF’s broader strategy to provide customized financial solutions, adapting to the changing needs of its membership base. It reflects a proactive approach towards enhancing member support and fostering financial well-being within the community.
Overall, the introduction of this feature signifies a positive step toward enhancing financial literacy and support among FNPF members, empowering them to better manage their resources and ensure their families are cared for in challenging times.
