FNPF Makes Special Payment Run for Affected Members

The Fiji National Provident Fund will make a special payment run for some 1,195 members, who have been inadvertently missed out, on their scheduled payments in the last 2 fortnights. Majority of these members are for phase 2 cycle 2 and some for phase 3.

While the Fund had publicized processing and payment timelines for the active relief phases, certain technical factors had affected processing from our side.

Chief Executive Officer Jaoji Koroi said that this issue affected the payments for these members.

“Our teams have rectified the issue and we sincerely apologise to members who were expecting payment as per the Phase 2 Round 2 timeline on September 15. They can now expect to receive it on Friday”, says Mr Koroi.

“There will be a special payment run on Friday 18 September 2020, for members that have missed out on the Cycle 2 payment for Phase 2 Round 2.”

Through this special run, the Fund will also pay out members whose applications were received up to 11 September and have been approved for payment for Phase 2 Round 2.
