Why Use Singpass for Home Loan Applications?

Singpass, Singapore's national digital identity, revolutionizes loan applications by pulling verified data from government sources like CPF and IRAS. No more manual uploads of payslips or NRIC—your details auto-populate via MyInfo, reducing errors and speeding up approvals[1][5][6].

Banks like DBS, OCBC, UOB, HSBC, and Standard Chartered support Singpass for home loans. Homejourney's multi-bank platform sends one Singpass-enabled application to all major lenders, letting you compare offers side-by-side. Visit https://www.homejourney.sg/bank-rates to start.

Pre-Application: Know Your Budget and Check Loan Eligibility

Before applying, use a mortgage calculator before buying to assess your home buying budget. Homejourney's eligibility tool at https://www.homejourney.sg/bank-rates#calculator factors in TDSR (Total Debt Servicing Ratio, capped at 55% of income), MSR (30% for HDB), age, income, and existing debts.

Actionable Step: Input your monthly income (e.g., S$6,000), age (30), and loan tenure (30 years). For a S$800,000 HDB flat, you might qualify for S$600,000 loan at current SORA rates around 3%. This pre-purchase eligibility check prevents overborrowing.

Pro Tip: Singaporeans/PRs need minimum S$30,000 annual income; foreigners S$60,000+ with valid EP[1][2][4]. Check your credit score via Credit Bureau Singapore first—scores above 1,400 boost approvals.

Understanding Interest Rates and Bank Assessment

Most Singapore home loans peg to 3M SORA (current ~3.0% as of 2026). Banks assess via TDSR, credit score, and debt-to-income. Approval odds rise with 20%+ downpayment and stable job (e.g., MNC in CBD).
