A new scam has emerged. UAPF contributors report that they are approached by intermediaries who, posing as employees of the Fund, offer to help receive pension savings for housing or medical treatment for a fee. About 30 contributors of the Fund have already become victims of these illegal actions.
In addition, false information is being disseminated on social networks and instant messengers about the acquisition of real estate at the expense of pension savings through consumer cooperatives or other companies.
We remind you that the possibility of using part of pension savings that exceeds the minimum sufficiency threshold for housing and medical treatment is realized exclusively in electronic format through authorized operators approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
To date, the authorized operators accepting applications for the use of a part of pension savings for improving housing conditions are Otbasy Bank Housing Construction Savings Bank JSC, Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan JSC, Altyn Bank JSC, Bank CenterCredit JSC and "Bank Freedom Finance Kazakhstan", and for the use of pension savings for treatment there is a single operator Otbasy Bank Housing Construction Savings Bank JSC.
The UAPF recommends not to contact third parties for the use of pension savings, not to follow suspicious links to unfamiliar sites and asks to check the information only on the official website enpf.kz or the official pages of the UAPF in social networks.
We emphasize that all UAPF services (including the provision of individual pension statements, opening accounts, an application for the transfer of pension savings to management companies, changing details, etc.) are provided free of charge!
The UAPF was established on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC. The UAPF founder and shareholder is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution “Committee of State Property and Privatization” of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. UAPF pension assets are managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. From January 1, 2016, the functions for developing proposals to improve the management of pension assets were transferred to the National Fund Management Council. In accordance with the pension legislation, the UAPF attracts compulsory pension contributions, compulsory occupational pension contributions, voluntary pension contributions, pension benefits, individual accounting of pension accumulations and benefits, provides the contributor (beneficiary) with information on the status of his pension accumulations (for more information visit www.enpf.kz)
