Our Commitment The Central Provident Fund (CPF) is a social security savings scheme jointly supported by employees, employers and the Government. CPF members are employees and self-employed persons in Singapore.

	The basic purpose of the CPF is to help members meet primary needs like shelter, food, clothing and health services in their old age or when they are no longer able to work. Benefits offered are to help meet one or more needs of the CPF member in his retirement. They include withdrawals by the member for retirement, permanent disablement, home ownership and medical care. The amounts available depend on how much the member has saved in the CPF. The Central Provident Fund Board The CPF Board is the trustee of members' CPF savings. We seek to protect and preserve the value of the savings. We provide fair market returns at minimal risk, while opening avenues for members to seek higher returns on their own after carefully considering the risks involved. The guiding principle is prudence. And returns should contribute towards the member's well-being in his retirement. Our Services We aim to provide our members, in a cost-effective manner, the widest range of quality services possible. Through courtesy and responsiveness, we gain their satisfaction and confidence. We seek also to help employers by collecting CPF contributions from them in as efficient and convenient a way as possible. We strive to ensure that the interests of their employees, who are CPF members, are never compromised, while facilitating them in meeting their responsibility of contributing towards the CPF. Our Nation The Government helps by exempting CPF earnings from tax and guaranteeing payment of CPF savings. We on our part will, where we can, make our assets and services available to help meet Singapore's social and economic objectives, thereby improving the quality of life of all Singaporeans and CPF members. Our People We recognise that we cannot serve members well if our people, the staff of the CPF Board, are not ready, able and willing. We are therefore committed to the development and welfare of our people, so as to achieve superior motivation and quality on a continuing basis.
