> KWAP launches new version with features to help pensioners

KUALA LUMPUR: Retirement Fund Incorporated (KWAP) yesterday launched a new version of its MyPesara mobile application, that offers various benefits and promotions.

KWAP chief executive officer Syed Hamadah Othman said the new features will benefit pensioners.

“Among the improvements are mobile medical records, e-card functions and an information hub with e-learning modules on retirement management, financial management and advisory services.”

KWAP Corporate Strategy and Performance Department director Ismail Zakaria said although the app is universal, there will be a mechanism to identify pensioners and non-pensioners.

“The app is open for worldwide users, but some of the benefits of our participating merchants can only be used by pensioners with the ‘e-kad Pesara’,” he said.

Merchant and content partners were selected based on criteria that meets the needs of current and future pensioners in the area of healthcare, wellness and financial planning, as well as products and services that could help reduce the daily cost of living of pensioners.

KWAP plans to make further improvements to the app based on feedback from users, and digital services and app features will be designed around the needs of users.

The MyPesara App is available at Google Play and App Store, and the enhanced features will be accessible in 10 days.

Ismail said KWAP will hold its first public engagement through the upcoming Carnival Rasa Sayang on Nov 24 at Bulatan Azlan Shah in Ipoh.
