The National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) launched the ‘myPTPTN’ mobile application which is aimed to ease the interaction between PTPTN and its 3.63 million borrowers and 5.28 million Simpan SSPN depositors.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad said the effort was in line with the fifth thrust of PTPTN Strategic Plan 2021-2025 to empower the organisation towards a more dynamic and excellent direction through digitalisation, so as to ensure that service delivery to customers is always at the best level.
Noraini was also optimistic that the application, which integrates all facilities into one system, would ease customers’ access to PTPTN. In fact, this mobile application can provide opportunities for the community to access PTPTN services anytime and anywhere.
With the app, users will be able to conduct various activities including loan statement reviews, loan repayment, Simpan SSPN (National Education Savings Scheme) statement reviews, and deposits.
Meanwhile, PTPTN chief executive Ahmad Dasuki Abdul Majid said the application was the corporation’s main initiative in conjunction with its 25th anniversary this year to ensure that it was on par with other financial institutions in providing the latest digital facilities.
He explained that PTPTN also held discussions with various quarters such as the Higher Education Ministry and the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU) to gain expertise and knowledge related to technology and consumer safety features.
