AKPK Debt Management Programme (DMP) 2025 Guide

If juggling multiple credit cards and personal loans keeps you up at night, AKPK's DMP can pause the chaos.

Eligibility Checklist

  • Malaysian aged 21+
  • Total debt < RM150,000 (excluding housing loan)

Documents to Prepare

  • Copies of offer letters & statements for each debt
  • NRIC + marriage cert (if debt shared)

Process Timeline

  1. Register online – pick counselling slot
  2. Counselling session – cashflow assessment + proposed plan
  3. Proposal to banks – AKPK negotiates lower interest (often 0% – 6%)
  4. Sign agreement – single monthly payment via standing instruction

Typical Outcomes

  • Interest reduced by 50% on average
  • Tenure extended 3–10 years
  • Accounts flagged as "under DMP" in CCRIS (neutral once payments consistent)
