When you sell your investment, the sales proceeds will be credited into your CPF Investment Account (CPFIA). We will automatically transfer the balance in your CPFIA to your CPF Ordinary Account if the account has been inactive for two consecutive months.

You may initiate a refund to take place earlier, by instructing OCBC Bank to effect the refund through the following facilities:

• Any OCBC Bank Branch
• OCBC Bank ATMs
• OCBC Phone Banking at 1800 363 3333 (Service is only available to existing OCBC Phone Banking users)

You are required to liquidate all your CPF investment holdings before closing the investment account. Any cash balance in the CPF Investment Account will then be refunded to your CPF Ordinary Account.

Where you have initiated a S15 withdrawal with CPF Board, any cash balance will be refunded to you, after deducting CDP share transfer charges (if applicable).

Cash balance will be refunded to you in the form of a cashier's order or credited into an existing OCBC account if you have sent a written request.
