While many people are trying to withdraw money from their EPF accounts, there are also many people who choose to voluntarily deposit all their money into their EPF accounts. There is no denying that EPF is the most stable and easiest investment channel in the market today.
The EPF pays out a Dividend of at least 5% every year, which is the best investment platform for people who do not invest and have extra money each month. However, the downside of the EPF is that members must be 55 years old before they can withdraw money from their accounts. Before the age of 55, you can only withdraw money for mortgage payments, medical bills, school fees, and other purposes.
If you also want to deposit extra money into your EPF account every month, you can choose to do so through Internet Banking. All banks in China offer internet banking services to deposit your own funds.
