Your home loan is one of your biggest financial commitments. Let us help you manage it better.

Managing Your Existing Home Loan

 

Understanding Your Loan Repayments

Monthly Repayments

Go towards paying down the principal and interest. They are payable from your loan servicing account on:

1ST of every month for private properties 15TH of every month for HDB flats

If the due date falls on a Sunday or gazetted public holiday, the instalment debiting will be made on the next working day.

Using your CPF for Loan Repayments

You can revise your CPF monthly repayment amount via the CPF website with your Singpass. Steps to do so are available here.

  • Private Property
    By 20th of the month for deduction in the following month
  • HDB
    7 working days prior to the deduction on 10th - 13th of the month.

Do note that any difference between the monthly repayment amount and the CPF received would be debited from your loan servicing account.
