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.
