Benefits of Multi-Bank Application in One Click | Homejourney

The benefits of multi-bank application in one click include saving weeks of time, securing the best rates from DBS, OCBC, UOB, HSBC and others simultaneously, and accurately assessing your borrowing capacity using TDSR and MSR calculators—all in a secure platform prioritizing your data safety.

Homejourney makes this possible with Singpass integration for instant applications, letting banks compete for your business while you focus on your dream property.

Why Multi-Bank Applications Revolutionize Singapore Home Loans

In Singapore's competitive property market, where HDB resale prices average S$500,000 in mature estates like Toa Payoh and new BTO flats start at S$300,000, timing is critical.

Traditional loan applications require visiting multiple banks, submitting documents repeatedly, and waiting 3-7 days per bank for in-principle approvals (IPAs). Homejourney's one-click multi-bank application submits your details to all major partners—DBS, OCBC, UOB, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Maybank, CIMB, RHB, Public Bank, Hong Leong, and Citibank—in seconds via Singpass MyInfo.

This aligns with MAS regulations on TDSR (Total Debt Servicing Ratio, capped at 55%) and MSR (Mortgage Servicing Ratio, 30% for HDB), ensuring compliant, verified submissions.[2]

As a first-time buyer eyeing a S$600,000 condo in Punggol, you avoid the hassle of separate OCBC and UOB visits, receiving competing offers like 2.5% fixed vs 3M SORA + 0.5% floating rates instantly.

Key Benefits of Multi-Bank Application in One Click

Homejourney's feature lets you compare and apply across 11 banks without fragmented logins, emphasizing user trust through encrypted Singpass data handling.

• Time Savings: One form fills all—auto-populate income, CPF details via Singpass. Get IPAs from multiple banks in 24-48 hours vs weeks.[2]
• Best Rate Guarantee: Banks bid competitively; e.g., DBS might offer SORA PEAK + 0.2%, UOB fixed 2.8% for 2 years. See real-time rates on Homejourney bank rates.
• Increased Approval Odds: If TDSR limits you at one bank, others assess differently—up to 10% higher borrowing limits possible.
• Privacy & Safety: Homejourney verifies partners, never shares data without consent, building a trusted ecosystem per our user-first policy.

Insider tip: Apply during off-peak hours (e.g., Tuesday 10 AM) for faster processing, as banks handle fewer queries.

Boost Borrowing Capacity with TDSR, MSR & Debt Calculators

Before applying, use Homejourney's free TDSR calculator, MSR calculator, and debt ratio calculator to check eligibility limits and borrowing capacity TDSR.

For a S$8,000 monthly household income, TDSR allows S$4,400 max debt (55%), MSR S$2,400 for HDB (30%). Our tool simulates scenarios: add car loan? Refinance? See instant impacts at Homejourney mortgage calculator.

Example: A couple earning S$12,000/month qualifies for S$1.2M loan (TDSR-compliant). Multi-bank apps reveal HSBC's higher LTV (90% for HDB) vs Maybank's 80%, unlocking S$100,000 extra.

The chart below shows recent interest rate trends in Singapore:

SORA rates have stabilized at ~3.0% in 2026, making floating loans attractive—multi-bank comparison ensures you lock the lowest spread (e.g., CIMB at +0.3%).

Singapore-Specific Advantages & Real Examples

For HDB upgraders from a S$400,000 4-room Ang Mo Kio flat to a S$1.1M executive condo, multi-bank apps navigate ABSD (Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty) and LTV limits (75% max).

Real case: A Punggol family used Homejourney to apply to DBS (3M SORA +0.4%, 3-year lock-in) and Standard Chartered (fixed 2.9%, no penalty). UOB won with 2.7% effective rate, saving S$15,000 over 5 years.

Investors benefit too: Compare RHB's buy-to-let rates (SORA +0.6%) vs Citibank's portfolio loans. Link to Homejourney projects directory for yield-aligned properties.
