FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I was in formal employment before joining SPK as a Self-Employed Member. Will I be given
a new account as a Self-Employed SPK Member?
No, Self Employed SPK Member will continue using the same SPK account number used during their previous formal employment.
I am a student and runs a part-time business, can I join SPK?
Yes, as long as you meet the registration criteria to be a Self-Employed SPK Member, you can register online via the e-Amanah portal. After successful registration, you will be given an SPK Member Account and can start contributing. By contributing the qualified contribution, you will receive the benefit of the Government's Match-Up contribution and will be considered productive.
Higher productivity will have a positive impact on the amount of annuity you will receive in the future.
If I get a job in the formal sector, do I need to inform TAP?
Your membership status will automatically change when your employer registers you as an employee under their organization. You can provide your existing SPK Member Account Number to your employer for the registration process, and you can continue saving in your existing Member Account.
If I was under SCP Self Employed before the SPK implementation, what do I need to do when SPK is implemented?
You will need to update your profile via the e-Amanah portal
and submit your verification document via email to selfemployed@tap.com.bn. Make sure to
attach the Self-Employed verification documentation as specified above and include your name
and IC number in the email.
