CPF - Enabling Singaporeans to save for a Secure Retirement

Since its inception in 1955, the Central Provident Fund (CPF) has touched the life of almost every Singaporean. From its genesis as a simple savings plan to provide a secure retirement for Singaporeans, CPF today has evolved into a comprehensive social security savings scheme. It not only takes care of a member's retirement, healthcare and housing needs, but also provides financial protection to CPF members and their families through its various insurance schemes. Indeed, the CPF has become the cornerstone of the nation's social security structure.
