The Public Trustee does not issue any cheque payment. All payments made by the Public Trustee are done electronically via PayNow (account must be registered with your NRIC) or Direct Credit (fund transfer) to your designated account. For payment request via Direct Credit, the recipients are required to submit a copy of the front page of the bank passbook or online bank statement which reflects the name of the recipient and the bank account number.

(Note: For a payment request via Direct Credit to a joint or third party bank account, both the beneficiary and the account holder(s) must execute the indemnity form (Form 15) which is available for download at https://pto.mlaw.gov.sg/deceased-cpf-estate-monies/forms/ .)
