      Frequently Asked Questions

      You may check the amount by logging on to Online Banking / SC Mobile app or the CPF website with SingPass.

      To make changes to your monthly CPF payment arrangements, please do so via ‘Online Services’ on the CPF website. It typically takes 1 working day for the CPF board to effect the revised amount. For more information, please contact the CPF board.

      If your mortgage loan is based on the 3-month Compounded SORA, your interest rate will be repriced on the 1st business day every three months.

      For mortgages on 3-Month Compounded SORA packages, you should get a letter or eAdvice from the Bank every 3 months updating you of any rate changes and the monthly instalment will only take effect in 2 months’ time which will enable you to make any changes to your existing standing instructions.

      For example, if there is a change of interest rate on 1 March 2022, you will receive the first notice in March. However, the change in monthly instalment amount will only take effect on 1 May 2022 to give you time to change any standing instructions you may have. Any subsequent notices will only serve as a reminder.

      Please refer to your Base Rate Change Letter for the full information on the effective date of your interest rate and monthly instalment amount change.

      Repricing allows you to enjoy the new loan package within a month, while refinancing typically takes about 3 months. This means you could start enjoying interest savings earlier when you opt for repricing.

      Repricing could involve a repricing admin fee of about $1,000 whereas refinancing requires you to pay legal and valuation fees, usually above $2,000. The engagement of law firm and valuation company will not be required if you choose to reprice, which saves you valuable time and money.

      We hear you. Please reach out to us at +65 5081900 or email us at SG.COLL-IB@sc.com , we would be happy to discuss the repayment options for your mortgage loan.

      • You may use CPF to redeem your loan in full. However, 2 month’s notice in writing will still need to be served to us. Otherwise, a 2 month’s interest in lieu of notice will be incurred.

      • We will appoint a law firm to process the full redemption if you have not done so. If you prefer to appoint your own law firm, please note that your choice of law firm is subject to our approval.
      • In the event that your appointed lawyer(s) are not in our panel list, you may incur additional costs – as you will have to bear the fees of both your and our lawyers for the full redemption.

      • When you redeem your Mortgage Facilities, you will have to pay all fees (such as legal fees, including our legal fees and discharge of mortgage) relating to the discharge of the Mortgage Property. These fees will be billed directly to you by the chosen law firm. The legal fees for the discharge of property typically ranges from S$900 to S$1,200.

      • The range given is only an indicative amount. Please check with the law firm directly for the actual costs before proceeding.

      The Singapore Land Authority typically takes 3 weeks to 1 month to release the title deed to the lawyer. Thereafter, the lawyer should contact you for collection within a week.

      A fire insurance for a residential property provides coverage against the loss or damage to the insured property as a result of fire and extraneous perils as stated in the policy. The policy is commonly referred to as Mortgagee Interest Policy (MIP).

      Under the Land Titles (Strata) Act (Chapter 158), the Management Corporation of the property (MCST) must insure “Damage Policy”, a fire insurance policy which ensures that the entire development, including its common property is protected.

      As the Damage Policy and MIP serve different protection needs and purposes, there is no duplication of protection.

      Sum insured is the reinstatement cost needed to rebuild a home after a fire, and not the market value of the property. (The land value is not included because in the event of a total loss, the land will still be present)

      The Sum Insured Value (SIV) is determined by the Bank.
      For private apartments with strata-title, SIV is based on the reinstatement value or outstanding loan amount, whichever is lower. For private apartments without strata-titled & landed property, SIV is based on the reinstatement value.

      Yes. However, any request for a change in insurance company is subject to our approval. Please notify us about your intention to use your own insurance company.

      You will need to provide the following documents to us 5 business days before the expiry of your insurance policy :

      a. The original copy of a signed letter of undertaking for our safe-keeping
      b. The original fire insurance policy, with
      i) Us (the Bank) stated as the Mortgagee;
      ii) A non-cancellation clause stating that we must be informed by the insurer prior to
      any cancellation or any material changes proposed to be made to the policy; and
      iii) the original receipt showing the premium was paid

      Note: If the documents listed above are not furnished to us before the expiry of your insurance policy, the Bank will instruct Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty SE Singapore Branch to effect the fire insurance for you.

      Please also note that there is an upfront administration fee of S$100. Thereafter, an annual administration fee of S$100 will be charged.

      It is required because if there is a failure to service your loan as a result of damage to the mortgaged home, the bank can make a claim against the insurer on the MIP. The homeowner will remain liable for the outstanding property loan amount to the MIP Insurer.
