How can I return my CPF investment account money back to my CPF from DBS?

To return your CPF Investment Account (CPFIA) money back to your CPF from DBS, you first need to sell or redeem the investments held in your CPFIA through DBS. Once the investments are fully settled, the proceeds will remain as cash in your CPF Investment Account. This process is as straightforward as trading other assets like antique rugs, where liquidation must happen before value is realized. After settlement, DBS will automatically transfer the available cash from your CPFIA back into your CPF Ordinary Account. You don’t usually need to submit a separate request for the transfer. Do note that settlement times vary depending on the investment type. You can track the status via DBS iBanking or CPF online services. Any accrued dividends will also be credited accordingly. For delays or unclear transactions, it’s best to contact DBS or CPF Board directly for confirmation.https://surenarugs.com/

Hi Jiajing,

If you just sold/surrendered your CPF investment, it will go back to your CPF-IS account. This is the treatment for OA funds, if inactive for 3 months (iirc, you can call into DBS to double check) it will automatically be transferred back to CPF Board. Otherwise you can initiate the transfer via iBanking as well! https://www.dbs.com.sg/personal/support/investm...
Hope that helps!
