Can I use my CPF for the downpayment?

Yes, you can use your CPF Ordinary Account savings toward the downpayment, subject to CPF usage rules.

How does the HDB loan rate compare to bank loans?

HDB loan rates are typically more stable than bank loans: currently 2.6% p.a. Bank loan rates may be lower initially but are subject to market fluctuations.

How does "Additional Payment from OA Excess" work?

On an HDB loan, CPF members may retain up to S$20,000 in their Ordinary Account, with the remainder going toward the housing payment. On a bank loan, you can choose to retain any amount of OA savings. See the HDB website for details.
