“Millennials and Gen Zs, already tech-savvy and forward-thinking, are perfectly positioned to benefit from Versa PRS. These young Malaysians have a unique advantage – time. Starting early ensures that they can benefit from the power of compounding interest, which can significantly snowball their retirement fund.
Having Versa PRS achieve over RM1,000,000 in cash ins within 5 days not only marks Versa’s growth but also serves as a resounding validation of the trust and confidence our users and partners have placed in us, for which we are grateful.”

The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia allows any individual who makes a contribution to their PRS funds is allowed to claim income tax relief up to RM3,000 and get income tax savings up to RM900.
