Step 3: Look up your CPF Investment Account number and link it to your Endowus account
Find your CPF-IA number and link it to your Endowus Account. Log in to your account on a desktop browser > Go to Linked Accounts > CPF Investment Account. Under CPF Investment Account, you can click on 'Link Account' and input your CPF-IA details. The linkage should be completed within 1 business day.
Step 4: Start investing your CPF-OA monies
After you receive an email confirming that your CPF-IA is linked to your Endowus account, you can start making CPF-OA investment orders in your Endowus Account (we will directly withdraw funds from your CPF OA to fund your investment order). Please refer here to learn how to make a one-time CPF-OA investment.
As a CPFIS Registered Investment Administrator in Singapore, our broker partner UOB Kay Hian can draw the investment amount directly from your CPF-IA and CPF OA to process your CPF-OA investments.
* It is important to remember that any returns you get from investing your CPF-OA monies will go back to your CPF OA.
** Please ensure sufficient funds for investing. If your investment order is rejected due to insufficient funds, the Agent Bank will charge you a fee for processing unsuccessful transactions.
