ANNOUNCEMENT
Now the procedure for opening a retirement account in the Unified Pension Savings Fund has been simplified and does not require the depositor's personal presence. In accordance with the amendments made to the Law on Pension Provision of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in order to open an individual retirement account (IPS) for accounting for mandatory pension contributions (OPV), an individual does not need to contact the UAPF service offices in order to complete an application for opening an IPS.
Recall that if an individual currently does not have an IPS in the UAPF, then it opens automatically when the first installment is received. In this case, the identification of an individual is carried out according to personal data (full name, IIN, date of birth) specified in the electronic format of the payment order when transferring the OPV, and all the necessary information about the details of a valid identity document of an individual, about the place of permanent residence of the UAPF will be received from information systems of state bodies.
Thus, from January to May (inclusive) of the current year, over one million accounts were opened automatically upon receipt of the first installment, or rather 1,075,220 IPS. This is nine times more than the accounts opened last year in 2019 over the same period, when 121,032 IPS were opened in the first five months.
It is worth noting that with the automatic opening of the IPS, the depositor is informed about the state of pension savings only with a personal appeal to the UAPF service offices. However, you can choose a more convenient method even without coming to the offices of the UAPF. It is enough just to register using an electronic digital signature on the fund's website, and control your savings in your personal account on the UAPF website itself (www.enpf.kz) or in the mobile application (ENPF). Also, in your personal account, in just a couple of clicks, you can not only get an extract from the IPS, but also see the current indicators on pension assets, contract details and much more.
UAPF was created on August 22, 2013 on the basis of JSC “NPF“ GNPF ”. The founder and shareholder of the UAPF is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution "Committee for State Property and Privatization" of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Trust management of UAPF pension assets is carried out by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. From January 1, 2016, the functions of developing proposals to improve the efficiency of pension assets management were transferred to the Council for the Management of the National Fund. In accordance with the pension legislation, the UAPF attracts compulsory pension contributions, compulsory professional pension contributions, voluntary pension contributions, pension payments, individual accounting of pension savings and payments, provides the contributor (recipient) with information on the state of his pension savings (for more details see www.enpf.kz )
