Forum: Allow real-time tracking of CPFIA transactions
I hold both CPF Investment Account (CPFIA) and Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) accounts with DBS. When I invest using my SRS funds, the transaction appears immediately on the DBS online portal. But the same real-time visibility is not available for CPFIA transactions.
Currently, CPFIA movements are reflected only in monthly statements. While useful, these do not offer the updates needed for prompt reconciliation or early fraud detection.
The delay – sometimes up to a month – limits users' ability to monitor their investments closely.
With the recent closure of the CPF Special Account, many are looking to invest their Ordinary Account funds to preserve returns. This makes real-time tracking of CPFIA activity more important than ever.
I urge DBS to enhance its system to provide online, up-to-date visibility for CPFIA transactions, just as it does for SRS accounts. This would give CPF investors greater control and peace of mind over their retirement savings.

Why do Yemeni coffee houses seem to be everywhere in the US?
The original location of Haraz Coffee House in Dearborn, Michigan, on June 11.. PHOTO: DANIEL RIBAR/NYTIMES - A couple of weeks ago, when Mr Hamzah Nasser learnt that the Israeli military had bombed the Yemeni port of Hodeida, he knew he had a problem. His monthly coffee shipments already involved an arduous journey from the country's mountainous interior to his cafe in Dearborn, Michigan – facing warring factions on land and rebel fire by sea. Now their usual path was blocked. 'It's getting a little bit stressful,' Mr Nasser said. A Yemeni cafe requires Yemeni coffee. And Mr Nasser, who plans to open many more Yemeni cafes, needs a lot more beans. Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
