Anyone knows if there is a way to disable the PayNow withdrawal feature for CPF saving for those above 55?
It seems that there is no way to do this. 

With all the scams going on, shouldn’t the CPF members be given a choice whether they want to have this convenience feature?

If genuinely scammed under this, will CPF refund the scammed money back to members?

Don’t know, but I doubt they will do so for future cases if even if they did for past cases, there is simply no end to it, they might as well increase the interest rate if they have such money.

I opened a paynow account just to make a one time cpf contributions for self-employed. Wrote in to complain and ask for a better alternative and received a computer generated reply ' we will not be replying to commonly-asked enquiries ". So now hacker can withdraw my cpf money anytime unless I close the paynow account

I took all banking cpf etc apps for my mom off line

How the hell are elderly able to cyber analyse.and discover malicious apps snd websites??!

They are making our elderly victims....by expecting to be IT savvy. Most are not and will never be.

Pay now linked to CPF don't need a separate device for OTP is a major flaw!!! Resulting in scams against CPF account holders.

They should allow people to turn it off ....People rarely use paynow to get money from CPF. It is dangerous.

How would people know if it is malicious until they try? So why don’t they stop malicious sw instead?  Truly indeed irresponsible with such response.

Close your paynow bank account and open an account elsewhere, if you don't mind some inconvenience. Don't link your new account to the CPF.

Stop having such accounts will save a lot of headaches and scams infiltration. There is enough to contend with internet banking phishing and furthermore it is platform agnostic via internet banking ...

Cpf has removed all other methods of payment like cheque or Internet transfer. They only accept paynow

Base on comments people make, my conclusion is-

CPF Scheme is to serve PAP

CPF minimum sum is for Temasick Holdings

CPF tool is to serve their own system

How not to link to CPF? Once you register PayNow to any bank account, CPF will used that account for PayNow transaction, automatically, correct?

Your Pay now is linked via phone number to one of your savings account...only one.

CPF paynow is to your registered phone number.

Correct.
So TS also need to change phone number.
Sorry I overlooked that.

More than 750 cases of Android device users falling prey to malware scams were reported in the first half of 2023, with 11 involving the unauthorised withdrawal of Central Provident Fund (CPF) savings, said the police on Wednesday (Sept 13).
