How can parents track and utilise their Child LifeSG credits?

Question

Accepted Answer

Parents can track and utilise their Child LifeSG credits via the LifeSG app, with the funds automatically credited to their child's Child Development Account (CDA) trustee.

Parents can track and utilise their Child LifeSG credits through the LifeSG app. These credits are automatically disbursed to the child’s Child Development Account (CDA) trustee without the need for an application. The funds can then be used at a wide range of merchants, both in physical stores and online, provided they accept PayNow UEN QR and NETS QR payment methods.
Tracking and Accessing Credits

The Child LifeSG credits are automatically credited to the trustee of the child's Child Development Account (CDA). This disbursement is based on the Ministry of Social and Family Development's (MSF) records as of June 1. Parents can access and monitor these credits conveniently through the LifeSG mobile application.
Merchant Acceptance

These credits are designed for broad usability, allowing parents to spend them at both physical and online retailers. The key requirement for merchants is their ability to process payments via PayNow UEN QR and NETS QR codes. This ensures flexibility for families in utilising the S$500 credit for each eligible child.
Scam Awareness

To ensure the security of the credits, parents will receive SMS notifications from gov.sg once the funds have been added to their account. The MSF has emphasised that these official communications will not request any personal information or require a reply. It is advised that CDA trustees keep their Singpass mobile numbers updated to receive important alerts.
