What is Singpass MyInfo and How Does It Speed Up Home Loan Applications?

Singpass MyInfo is a government-backed digital service that lets you share verified personal data—like NRIC, address, income, and CPF balance—with banks via your Singpass app.[2][6]

For MyInfo auto-fill, log in with Singpass on a bank's portal (or Homejourney's bank-rates page). MyInfo pulls accurate info instantly, reducing errors and paperwork for digital loan applications.[1][3]

Homejourney integrates this seamlessly: Compare rates from HSBC, Standard Chartered, Maybank, CIMB, and others, then apply with one click. First-time HDB buyers upgrading from BTO flats in areas like Punggol or Sengkang can get pre-approvals faster under MSR limits.Bank Rates

Submit: One application goes to multiple banks for competing offers.

Example: Earning $8,000/month? Max $4,400 monthly payments. MyInfo verifies this against CPF contributions, flagging issues early. Foreigners with FIN use MyInfo too, but expect extra docs like work permits.[3][4]
