From next year, the government will close the SA for those aged 55 and above. 

These savings will be transferred to the RA up to the Full Retirement Sum, where they will continue to earn the long-term interest rate. 

The remaining SA savings will be transferred to the Ordinary Account (OA), but members can voluntarily transfer their OA savings to the RA anytime, up to the Enhanced Retirement Sum to earn higher interest and receive higher retirement payouts.

The CPF SA has been used as a high interest savings accounts by Singaporeans. Now the money will be transferred to CPF OA to  earn 2.5% instead of 4%.

If youbstill want the 4% you have to transfer to RA ...once in RA you cannot take out as lump sum but enroll your money to the enhanced CPF Life scheme.

The changes also means those who use the "shielding trick"  to get more interest can no longer do it as money goes back to cPF OA....

Looks like they purposely close a loophole

[[[ForeverAlone]]]

Seriously , hello Where got so easy , max up your SA later retire RICH In million ??? So call " those Guru tell " what mr loo whatever heck.

LKK already, no meaning to lock in so much money in CPF. Put inside bank is a better option.

[WhatDoYouThink!]

How much do you hv in cpf oa, sa and ra?

[sgbuffett]

LKK already, no meaning to lock in so much money in CPF. Put inside bank is a better option.

55 is not LKK...and the CPFSA after 55 can take out anytime and earns 4% that is why many people use SA to their advantage....like a bank account earning 4%.

[Bigiron]

Mean not OA and SA all changed one account RA..


Hmmm... isn't this all along like this?

[RiseofAsia]

[sgh]

For ppl who invest with SA how are? At age 55 forced to sell all becuz SA no more?

[sgxin]

Guess the raising of ERS 4 times BRS (or $426K) in 2025 is meant to absorb the SA balance (if any).
10 years RA interest from 55yo for this new ERS amount will be $204K.
But members must survive till the 65yo CPFLife payout year in order not to let CPF forfeit this interest earned.

[Sticw]

Indirectly saying that our temasek and gic not able to perform so can't pay the high interest back to CPF. If that's the implied underlying... Then time to cut the number of top brass in temasek and gic... Why keep these people on the high payroll??!?
