I have around 38k remaining mortgage loan for my hse currently on hdb loan. I was wondering if I should pay up all the mortgage loan using my OA which has approximate 90k. I have 120k in SA and 65k in medisave. Both my partner are reaching 40's. Anyone think is wise to pay up the remaining mortgage loan with OA in view of raising interest rate? Or shld we use cash to pay remaining loan and convert my OA to SA in order to hit minimum retirement sum? Any advice? Thanks

HDB mortgage loan rate is pegged at +0.1% over CPF OA interest rate, which in turns is pegged at the 3-month average local bank deposit rate or the legislated floor rate of 2.5%, whichever higher. So unless deposit rate rises to above 2.5%, your HDB loan rate will remain at 2.6% for quite a while.

If you have spare cash to pay up the outstanding loan, and you don't have other place to park your cash for higher than CPF interest rates, it does make sense to pay up HDB loan using cash and transfer your OA to SA to hit FRS and enjoy 4% interest rate in SA.
