FNPF members withdraw over $22m under three COVID-19 relief schemes

Members of the Fiji National Provident Fund have withdrawn over $22 million from their accounts under three COVID-19 relief schemes.

CEO Viliame Vodonaivalu says they have paid $13.6 million to 1,452 members under the housing assistance, $9.06 million to 1,714 members under the low balance accounts assistance and $5,293 to 3 members under the micro-business assistance.

He says the housing assistance will be closing at the end of this month and members who wish to access this relief should contact their lenders or financial institutions where their home loans are held.
