If you worked in Malaysia and moved on, changed employers, or lost the paperwork years ago, you are in the right place. Pensions are rarely gone. Most of the time the scheme simply lost track of you.
Malaysian workers who changed jobs without consolidating, Foreign workers who worked in Malaysia and returned home, and Malaysians who worked abroad for extended periods.
Malaysia is simpler than most countries in one respect: contributions run into EPF, one national fund. The difficulty is reaching it. The account is keyed to Malaysian identity details and local access, and people who worked in Malaysia and then left commonly do not have either any more. The balance stays where it is. The person stops being able to see it.
A PensionHunter Pension Identification Report works from what you already know, employer names and rough dates, and identifies the account records and administrators your Malaysian work history points to. One fixed fee, one clear picture, and a refund if we find nothing material.
If you worked in Malaysia as a foreign worker, you had EPF contributions deducted from your salary. This money belongs to you and can be withdrawn when you leave. Many workers have never claimed it.
What your Pension Identification Report delivers
Nobody sits between you and your pension. You act the moment the evidence lands.
For Malaysia, there is one national fund (EPF / KWSP). Your Pension Identification Report confirms your position, the deadlines that affect it, and the sourced route to reach your record from abroad.

Doing it yourself

What we do
Human experts + AI, fixed fee:
Identification only. We do not claim, transfer, negotiate, or make decisions regarding any pension.
Every line below is drawn from the verified country dossier. We never fabricate facts; candidate items are gated out of customer-facing copy.
EPF money does not follow the generic 7-year unclaimed rule, it keeps earning dividends and transfers to the Registrar (BWTD) only at age 100 under EPF Act s.51A.
The EPF balance keeps earning dividends until age 100; only then does it transfer to BWTD (searchable via eGUMIS). It is not lost on departure.
Personal-record access wall: i-Akaun (KWSP login) is the personal-record wall; the in-app approval can replace SMS-TAC for users still able to authenticate
Malaysia is unusual in that provider identity is trivial, there is one national fund (EPF), with a separate route to the BWTD registrar only for accounts that have crossed the age-100 transfer threshold. The hard part is not finding the institution; it is that EPF money does not behave like generic unclaimed money, it keeps earning dividends and never lapses on departure.
From abroad: A Leaving-Country Withdrawal is filable from abroad, but onward international remittance of the payout is unclear in published EPF guidance, a known gap for departed expats rather than a documented route.
SG↔MY is the largest daily corridor (opposite urgency profiles).

Country Pension Identification Report: within 24 to 48 hours. Enhanced and Global Pension Identification Reports: full report within five working days of your intake form.

To find a lost EPF account in Malaysia, you can check the KWSP (EPF) website or visit an EPF office, but this requires a Malaysian IC number and local access. For foreign workers and expats who have left Malaysia, PensionHunter researches likely EPF entitlements using your employment history; at Enhanced Pension Identification Report ($499) and Global Pension Identification Report ($799), we prepare a complete request pack for each fund we identify, written and ready to send under your signed Information Request Authority (IRA). Country Pension Identification Report ($99) is identification-only and does not require an IRA. Malaysia has required EPF contributions since 1951. Important: EPF withdrawals, particularly for foreign workers leaving Malaysia permanently, are administered directly by KWSP under strict documentary requirements. We do not make withdrawal applications for you and we cannot guarantee approval. We deliver a research report so you can apply to KWSP yourself. Full refund if we find nothing material.
Specific situations we cover. For expats, returning citizens and cross-border workers.
