The National Superannuation Fund, Nasfund, is encouraging its members to utilize all Fund touch points, for all their superannuation queries. These touch points are 17 branch offices around the country, an online member portal and a dedicated call center on phone 1588 that allows convenient access of their choosing.
Especially during this busy election period, the Fund notes that there may be disruptions to its operations, especially in areas where there are security issues.
Nasfund General Manager Member & Employer Services Services Anne Wilson is encouraging all members to access these services at their convenience-without the need to fly to Port Moresby.
“In 2022, collectively our branch network has served a total of 125,000 members. The majority of these members have been served at our Boroko service centre in NCD, and our Lae Service Centre in Morobe Province.
Of these 125,000 members served, just under 30% are members who are requesting for a Nasfund balance statement. 19% are members who are after general enquiries, and 15% are members following-up on their withdrawal applications.
Much of the information requested by members can be sourced via our electronic channels.
Our electronic channels have been established to make it easier for members to access our services without the need to spend time and money travelling to visit a Nasfund branch office.
