When can you withdraw your MPF

When can you withdraw your MPF?

Once you reach the age of 65, you can choose to withdraw your MPF or choose to retain your MPF in the MPF scheme.

By law you or your personal representative (in case of death) can withdraw your MPF early on the following six grounds:

Early retirement

Terminal illness

Permanent departure from Hong Kong

Total incapacity

Death

Small balance

If you withdraw your MPF at the age of 65 or 60 upon early retirement, you may choose to withdraw either in one lump sum or by instalments.

The law does not stipulate any deadlines for withdrawing MPF. You should consider your personal needs before making a withdrawal application. If you choose to retain all your MPF in your account, no application is required. Your MPF will continue to be invested in the Constituent Fund(s) you have selected.

For withdrawal of MPF, withdrawal instructions can be submitted to the eMPF Platform via the eMPF Web Portal or the eMPF Mobile App.

If you have any questions relating to withdrawal of MPF, please contact the eMPF Platform.
