Why Use Singpass for Home Loan Applications?

Singpass with MyInfo pulls your NRIC details, income from CPF statements, employment history, and tax assessments instantly, eliminating manual uploads.[2][5][8] This digital loan application reduces errors and speeds up processing to minutes for in-principle approvals at banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered.



For property buyers, this means quicker eligibility checks under HDB's Loan Eligibility (HLE) Letter or private bank assessments, capped at 75% LTV for first-time buyers per MAS rules. Homejourney's platform makes Singpass mortgage application even easier—one submission reaches multiple banks.

Pro Tips to Boost Approval Chances

  • Boost Credit Score: Check Credit Bureau Singapore (1,000-2,000 scale)—pay cards on time 6 months prior.[1]
  • Minimize Debts: Keep total commitments under 50% income.
  • Multi-Bank Edge: Homejourney's one-click sends to 11 banks, increasing offers by 40% vs single-bank apps.Benefits of Multi-Bank Application in One Click | Homejourney
  • HDB Specific: Apply for HLE 1 month before BTO ballot via Singpass on HDB site.
  • Refinancing: If rates drop 0.5%, save S$10,000 over 25 years on S$500,000 loan—check via our calculator.


Avoid pitfalls: Don't apply to too many banks individually (hard inquiries ding score). Homejourney's soft-check pre-qual avoids this.
