eMPF Platform Convenient, Fast and Cost-Effective

Civil Service Bureau
Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority

The eMPF Platform (eMPF) is a one-stop electronic platform funded by the Government, and developed and operated by the eMPF Platform Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (MPFA). eMPF aims to standardise, streamline and automate MPF scheme administration work, with a view to enhancing operational efficiency and reducing administrative costs.

Once the scheme is onboarded to eMPF, scheme members can manage their MPF anytime, anywhere through the mobile app or web portal. Major functions of eMPF include:

✓ Instant access to the balances of all MPF accounts

✓ Consolidation of accounts

✓ Fund switching

To encourage civil servants to register for and use eMPF, with the support of Civil Service Bureau, MPFA organised a two-week exhibition earlier at the Central Government Offices. The Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan Mo-po, and a number of Directors of Bureaux, including the Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung Ho Poi-yan, as well as other senior government officials, including the Permanent Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Clement Leung Cheuk-man attended the event. Moving forward, MPFA will continue to introduce eMPF to civil servants and provide them with on-site assistance for eMPF registration at various government office buildings, enabling them to enjoy the benefits brought by the new era of MPF management.

The onboarding of MPF trustees and their respective MPF schemes to eMPF has commenced one by one since June 2024, and all MPF trustees are expected to be onboarded by the end of 2025.
