What is Singpass and Why Use It for Home Loans?

Singpass is Singapore's national digital identity for citizens, PRs, and FIN holders aged 15+, allowing secure access to over 2,700 government and business services, including home loan applications[3][1]. It integrates with MyInfo to pre-fill forms with verified data like NRIC, address, income, employment, and CPF contributions, eliminating paperwork[2].

For property buyers, Singpass enables a loan application app experience on Homejourney, where banks like DBS and OCBC access your details with consent for faster processing. This aligns with MAS regulations on secure digital lending, ensuring data privacy through biometric verification[3].

Homejourney's platform verifies all partner banks and uses Singpass Face Verification for ultimate security, creating a trusted environment for your mortgage journey.

Eligibility for Singpass and Home Loan Applications

You qualify for Singpass if you're a Singapore Citizen, PR, or FIN holder aged 15+ with an updated NRIC/FIN address[3][6]. For home loans under TDSR (Total Debt Servicing Ratio, capped at 55% of income), banks assess your age, income stability, and CPF Ordinary Account balance[1].

First-time HDB buyers can borrow up to 4x monthly income; private property up to 75% LTV (Loan-to-Value). Use Homejourney's free eligibility calculator at https://www.homejourney.sg/bank-rates#calculator to check before applying.
