To help you navigate this transition, let’s explore the options available to maximize your OA funds.
Making the Most of Your OA Savings
Plan Ahead with Confidence
The closure of CPFSA is not the end of the world. There are many options available to optimize your cash return to beat inflation and make your money work harder for you during retirement.

You can view the amounts transferred to your RA and/or OA by logging into your CPF account on the CPF website or the CPF Mobile application.
