How to open a CPF Investment Account (CPF-IA) online in minutes

We care deeply about the client investment experience, so we have teamed up with UOB to make the CPF Investment Account (CPF-IA) opening process seamless, and entirely online.

Every CPF member needs a CPF Investment Account (CPF-IA) in order to invest their CPF Ordinary Account (CPF OA) savings. You can now open a CPF-IA seamlessly with UOB entirely online in just minutes.

STEP 1: Complete the CPF Self-Awareness Questionnaire

You must first complete the CPF Investment Scheme (CPF-IS) Self Awareness Questionnaire before you can start investing under CPF-IS. It starts with learning modules on investment concepts, products and information on charges under the CPFIS. You will then take a quiz where your results will help you assess if CPFIS is suitable for you.

The questionnaire contains 20 multiple-choice questions with no pass score. If you already have a CPFIS account and wish to check your SAQ status, you can click Check my CPFIS SAQ Status.

Investment involves risk. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and you may not get the full amount you invested. Past performance is not an indicator nor a guarantee of future performance. Rates of exchange may cause the value of investments to go up or down. Individual stock performance does not represent the return of a fund.
