Why Use Singpass for Loan Applications?

Singpass MyInfo pulls your NRIC details, income, CPF contributions, and employment data instantly with your consent, eliminating manual uploads. This speeds up approvals from banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered, often within minutes for in-principle offers.[2][3]

Homejourney integrates Singpass seamlessly, letting you submit one application to multiple partners including DBS Bank, OCBC Bank, UOB, Maybank, CIMB, and RHB Bank. Track offers side-by-side on https://www.homejourney.sg/bank-rates for the best rates.[1]

Before You Start: Check Your Eligibility with TDSR and MSR Calculators

Assess your borrowing capacity using TDSR calculator (Total Debt Servicing Ratio, capped at 55% of gross income) and MSR calculator (Mortgage Servicing Ratio, 30% for HDB buyers). Homejourney's free tool at https://www.homejourney.sg/bank-rates#calculator factors in your debts, income, and eligibility limits like minimum S$30,000 annual income for most banks.[1][3]

Pro Tip: Singaporeans/PRs need a Credit Bureau Singapore score above 1,000 for better rates. Use Homejourney's debt ratio calculator to simulate scenarios – aim for under 40% debt-to-income for stronger approvals. Read more in Check Your TDSR & MSR Limits with Homejourney’s Calculator.
