Eligible Singaporeans

Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA)

Post-Secondary Education Account

Overview

The Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) is automatically opened for all eligible Singaporeans as part of the Post-Secondary Education Scheme, designed to help parents save for their children’s post-secondary education. Administered by MOE, the PSEA provides insights into its benefits and usage. Discover how it can support educational expenses for your child’s future.
The PSEA balance earns interest pegged to the CPF Ordinary Account (CPF-OA), currently at 2.5% per annum.
Note: The additional 1% interest on the first $20,000 in the CPF-OA does not apply to the PSEA.
