CPF’s Ready For Life roadshow runs at Suntec City until 1 November

CPF Board’s Ready For Life roadshow runs at Suntec City until Sunday, 1 November, from 10.30am to 8pm each day, with no registration needed.

It sits in the Suntec City Atrium at Level 1, between Towers 1 and 2. This is the second of three stops for the 2026 festival, which CPF Board runs with MoneySense, and the walk-through takes 30 to 45 minutes on the Ready for Life 2026 programme.

Four zones and a passport

Visitors pick up a Journey Passport at registration and can start at any of four zones. Picture Your Future asks what kind of retirement you want and what it would take. Brew It Your Way covers CPF planning tools for building savings, and the last zone, Protect What You’ve Built, is about safeguarding savings and plans.

Each zone gives out a charm. Collect all four and you can redeem a Ready for Life phone strap, while stocks last.

What is on the tables

The Retirement Payout Planner has been reworked into bite-sized steps with personalised suggestions, and it is one of the tools featured at the roadshow. MoneySense’s updated guide, Your Financial Basics, covers savings, insurance and investments by life stage and sits at go.gov.sg/yfb.

CPF Board is also launching a card game at the festival, The Singaporean Dream: CPF Edition. It follows a player from building retirement savings to drawing payouts, and it goes to selected community centres from December 2026.

Why the campaign has moved younger

This year’s campaign, which runs from 21 September to 13 December, targets Singaporeans aged 20 to 54. It is the first time CPF Board has gone after the 20 to 34 group.

The money is already moving. In the first three quarters of 2026, more than 370,000 members made voluntary top-ups to their retirement savings, totalling over S$6 billion. Members who received cash top-ups under the Matched Retirement Savings Scheme this year qualify for dollar-for-dollar matching grants of up to S$2,000 each, credited in early 2027.

Before you go on Sunday

CPF’s digital services go offline for scheduled maintenance on Sunday, 1 November, from 12am to 8am. The roadshow opens at 10.30am that day, after the maintenance window has closed.

The Ready for Life Talk Series is separate from the roadshow. Its talks are free, but seats need registration on the CPF Events page, with a walk-in queue for full sessions.

The last stop is Northpoint City, at the South Atrium on Level 1, from 20 to 22 November.
