OCBC Digital (available for applications via CPF Mobile app only)

  
One-time CPF transfer
In general, online transfers from Ordinary Account to Special Account/Retirement Account are processed within the same day. However, a longer processing time may be required for certain transfers, such as first-time transfers to loved ones, as checks to verify relationships will need to be conducted. The processing time for such scenarios is generally five working days upon receipt of application. We encourage submitting your application before the 5th last working day of the month. 
 
Recurring cash top-up and CPF transfer
The deduction or transfer will start from the following month after your recurring arrangement is successfully processed.
