PTPTN Online Payment and 3 Other Ways to Pay Back PTPTN Loan

This procrastination will only hurt you. Ideally, when you get a monthly salary, you need to separate the money according to priority. There are various ways to make PTPTN debt payments according to your convenience. Here is a specific guide for all PTPTN borrowers who are confused about how to pay:

1. How to Pay PTPTN Online?

If you don’t have time to go to any PTPTN counter, the easiest way is to make a PTPTN online payment. There are several banks that provide online banking services. For example, Maybank, CIMB, RHB, Bank Rakyat and also Public Bank.

You can also make PTPTN debt payments through eWallet applications such as Touch N Go and Boost. Both of these payment methods require you to have an application to use the facilities offered.

  3. Fill in the form given by the counter officer (Identification Card No., PTPTN Account No. and Contract No. or Bill No.);
  4. Give the form back to the officer, then pay the loan.;
  5. Finished.

3. PTPTN Auto Deduction From Salary

Payment of PTPTN debt can also be made by salary deduction. This method is usually used by civil servants. This is because those who receive PTPTN loans are required to make PTPTN repayments.

As a borrower, you must submit a completed PTPTN Education Financing Authorization Form to the nearest PTPTN Office.

Meanwhile, PTPTN will update the salary deduction record into the system and submit a new salary deduction record to your employer at the end of each month. Next, the employer will make salary deductions and submit salary deduction data and payment to PTPTN before the 15th day of the month in the following month. Finally, PTPTN will update the loan statement.

  • There is no withdrawal limit as long as there is a balance in the account 2;

What Are the Consequences of Not Paying PTPTN or Overdue PTPTN Debt?

PTPTN allocates as much as RM5 billion in education funds for Malaysians every year. As of 29 February 2016, PTPTN expects to collect repayments of RM15.8 billion from borrowers. However, only RM7.9 billion in refunds were received. What are the consequences of not paying PTPTN?

1. Credit Score Will Be Affected

As mentioned above, PTPTN payment arrears may cause your name to be blacklisted by PTPTN. It indirectly affects your credit score.

Through the CCRIS report, the bank can find out your inconsistent PTPTN repayment pattern (arrears, late payments and so on).

If you do not make PTPTN repayments consistently, you may face difficulties in applying for any loans such as housing loans, car loans or personal loans.

2. You Will Be Blacklisted

Borrowers who don’t repay loans or have PTPTN debt arrears will be blacklisted by the Malaysian Immigration Department. This will prevent you from traveling abroad, renewing your passport, or applying for a new passport.

3. Legal Action

You can also be sued if you fail to repay PTPTN debt. PTPTN will issue two notices if you don’t make repayments:

  • PTPTN repayment reminder notice;
  • Claim notice.
    If you still don’t make any payments or negotiate with PTPTN, you can be sued or face legal action.

You are advised to pay your PTPTN debt according to the schedule so that you will not face any arrears payment problems with PTPTN. Additionally, if you are looking for the best car insurance, motorcycle insurance or home insurance, visit the Qoala website for more information.
