You cannot withdraw your funds from nasfund. You will have to transfer your Funds from nasfund to your current contributing Superfund (Nambawan Super).
You will have to go through the same process as withdrawing your FUNDs. You must provide all documents as required for withdrawal, however on the full withdrawal application form, you will mark the box where it states ‘ transfer ’ .
Note: You must already be a contributing member to the superfund that you would want to transfer your funds to.
Please go to your nearest Nambawan Super branch and ask an officer to assist with the process to transfer your funds.
It is not ok to have more than ONE account. You must immediately Merge all your accounts to your original account number. A member must always have ONE account no matter how many companies he/she has worked for.
Email: help@nasfund.com.pg for assistance.
There are several factors that may lead to a member having more than (1) one account.
- The member never advised his employer of his/her old membership number when he/she joined the company.
- The payroll officer didn’t fill the correct form to state a member has an existing account creating a new account under the new employer.
- The system automatically creates a new account if the member may have also changed names but hasn’t advised the fund through their payroll or HR officers.
It is very important to advise your payroll officer of your membership number as soon as you join a new company or employment.
No, you have to advise your payroll to create a new account because you have already exited that account.
The FUND encourages all employers to remit members contributions at the 15th day of each calendar month.
Your Funds are secured, but there are factors that contribute to contributions that are not updated on time.
Factors may include the following;
- Your employer has not remitted your contributions on time.
- Your employer may have remitted your contributions but they may not have advised the account officers of the FUND on deposits and the contributions may be sitting under the un-allocated trust fund.
- To correctly identify contributions and allocate accordingly, the FUND must then confirm with employers when the bank provides statements to correctly allocate the contributions which may lead to prolonging updates.
- Your employer may have remitted your contributions on time but the officers concerned have not updated your contributions because of un-clean schedules.
- A schedule is a form that includes every contributing member’s account details. If a schedule is incomplete the system automatically rejects the whole file and gets the account portfolio officers to send back to employers to provide ‘clean’ schedules. If this schedule is not returned immediately can cause the delay of updating contributions on time.
Immediately email: registrations@nasfund.com.pg or directdeposits@nasfund.com.pg for officers to confirm.
