What nasfund does

Nasfund (National Superannuation Fund Limited) is a Papua New Guinea-licensed superannuation fund trustee, established in 2002 as the first Approved Superannuation Fund under the country's Superannuation (General Provisions) Act 2000. It administers mandatory retirement savings on behalf of 744,213+ members across 2,978 registered and contributing employers, with total Net Asset Value of K9.45 billion (PNG Kina) at FY2025. The core product is an accumulation superannuation fund receiving statutory 8.4% employer contributions, supplemented by a voluntary Eda Supa product for informal-sector workers, sole traders, and smallholders.

The technology stack centers on a digital superannuation administration platform with multiple member-facing channels: a mobile app, e-Branch web portal, TextBal SMS balance service, WhatsApp appointment booking, IVR, and a 24/7 AI chatbot. Back-office operations are supported by an AI-Powered Vendor Invoice Management and Three-way Automation Solution (InvoiceAI), developed with ZeonAI, which automates invoice extraction, validation, and approval at 97% accuracy with 70% faster processing. Distribution combines a national footprint of 16 branches, 1 e-Branch, and 6 service centers with digital self-service, including a recent government SevisPass/SevisWallet integration for KYC and a BSP Financial Group data-sharing arrangement for withdrawal processing.

Revenue mechanics are characteristic of a not-for-profit superannuation fund: members pay nothing directly, employer contributions are mandatory and fixed by law at 8.4%, and the fund generates cash income of K554M (FY2025) through investment management, crediting a 13% interest rate to member accounts in 2025 (8.91% five-year average, outperforming CPI of 3.56%). A non-financial value layer — the 180+ partner Membership Discount Program and Employer-to-Employer Discount Program — supports member acquisition and retention. Total Expense Ratio of 1.01%-1.15% is the lowest among PNG super funds, reflecting scale advantages.
