  • Your child’s birth order is based on how many children are born to or adopted by the mother.
  • Each child from multiple births (for example, twins or triplets) are counted separately.

You’ll need to upload 1 of these documents for all children listed in your application:

  • Birth certificate
  • Singapore citizenship certificate
  • Adoption order and schedule

To change birth order, go to Request to Change Birth Order on Parent Portal Services. Singpass login will be required.

Manage CDA and CSA

Go to Family View on Parent Portal Services to check your:

  • Baby Bonus Cash Gift benefits
  • Child Development Account (CDA) benefits

Singpass login will be required.

To change Child Development Account (CDA) trustee and Child Savings Account (CSA) joint account holder:

  1. Log in to your banking app that you opened the accounts with.
  2. Make changes using your banking app.
  3. After you’ve made changes, the new nominated trustee will:
    • receive a notification from the bank; 
    • need to accept the bank's terms and conditions; and provide supporting documents if needed.

What happens to the CSA?

  • A new CSA will also be automatically opened under the new nominated trustee as the new joint account holder.
  • The new nominated trustee will receive a new Baby Bonus NETS card.
  • Any remaining Baby Bonus Cash Gift will be credited into the new CSA according to the disbursement schedule.
  • The existing CSA will be converted to a normal joint savings account under the bank's terms and conditions. Any balance will remain in the existing CSA. 

To change your Child Development Account (CDA) and Child Savings Account (CSA) bank, go to your preferred bank’s website to make the change. The account opening process will depend on the new bank’s processes. 

What happens to the CDA?

  • The existing CDA will be closed.
  • The balance will be automatically transferred to the new bank's CDA.

This may take up to 6 working days.

What happens to the CSA?

  • The existing CSA will be converted to a normal joint savings account under the bank's terms and conditions.
  • Any funds in your existing CSA will remain in that account.
  • Any remaining Baby Bonus Cash Gift will be credited into the new CSA.

If the new bank account opening is unsuccessful, you can either stay with your current bank or apply directly at another bank of your choice.

This service is only applicable if both of the following apply:

  • Your child was enrolled into the Baby Bonus Scheme before 1 July 2024.
  • You've never had a Child Savings Account (CSA).

From 1 July 2024, the Cash Gift will be paid into the CSA that automatically opens with the Child Development Account (CDA).

Change bank account holder: to change the person receiving the remaining Baby Bonus Cash Gift payments in their nominated bank account. 

Change bank account number: to update details of the bank account that receives the remaining Baby Bonus Cash Gift.

Before making any changes on Parent Portal Services, please prepare the bank account details of the new bank account holder.

Singpass login will be required. This application will take about 5 minutes to complete, and be processed by the next working day.

After successfully enrolling into the scheme, the applicant will receive an email and LifeSG app notification with instructions on how to open the Child Development Account (CDA) and Child Savings Account (CSA) together.

Please note that the parent who registers the child’s birth or applies for Baby Bonus will be the CDA trustee and CSA joint account holder.

To change the CDA trustee and CSA joint account holder, you may do it directly through your child’s CDA banking app or portal only after the CDA and CSA are opened.

Choosing a bank

You can choose either POSB/DBS, OCBC, or UOB.

  • For POSB/DBS and OCBC: you must be an existing customer with an active account to open the CDA and CSA through their online banking portal or mobile app.
  • For UOB: you do not need to be an existing customer to open the CDA and CSA through their online banking portal or mobile app. However, if you’re a Singapore citizen with an overseas address or a foreigner, you must visit a UOB branch in person to open the CDA and CSA.

  • If you have any difficulties with your banking portal or bank app, please approach your bank for assistance.

GIRO is a convenient payment service that automatically transfers funds from your child’s Child Development Account (CDA) to Baby Bonus Approved Institutions (AIs).

To set up or cancel GIRO service, please download the relevant form specific to your child’s CDA bank.

You’ll need to complete the form with CDA trustee’s signature and submit it to the AI.
