Tips from our members
I wished I'd realise the power of CPF 10 years earlier. I learnt many useful hacks from CPF newsletters & talks, that helped meet the Full Retirement Sum in my SA at 39 years old.

CPF is the 8ᵗʰ wonder of the world! With compounding interest rates of up to 5% p.a. (for those below age 55), you shouldn't wait to top up early!

I factor my OA savings into my retirement plans - as unused OA savings earn up to 3.5% interest p.a.! By topping up my SA, I enjoy tax relief and get to grow my retirement funds!

I only know about the benefits of CPF from my colleagues on a bus ride home. A quick and easy hack is transferring unused OA savings into your SA or RA to get higher interest!
