How do parents track and manage their Child LifeSG credits?

Question

Accepted Answer

Parents can track and manage Child LifeSG credits through the LifeSG app and SMS alerts when credits are added
Parents and CDA trustees can view and use Child LifeSG credits via the LifeSG app. When the credits are added, SMS notifications from gov.sg are sent to the trustee, and the messages are used to confirm the update rather than to request replies or personal information.
Use the LifeSG app to view and use credits
Child LifeSG credits are handled through the Child Development Account (CDA) trustee, with trustees able to view and use the credits in the LifeSG app. This means the credit balance and usage are managed inside the app rather than through a separate application process, since the credits are automatically added based on MSF records as of June 1.
Receive SMS notifications from gov.sg when credits are added
Once the credits are added, parents receive SMS notifications from gov.sg. MSF stressed that these messages will not ask for replies or personal information, and they are intended to alert trustees that the credits have been credited.
Ensure the Singpass mobile number is updated for alerts
To receive the SMS notifications, CDA trustees are advised to ensure their Singpass mobile number is updated. This is tied to the alert delivery system used for credit updates, so an outdated number can affect whether the trustee receives the gov.sg messages.
Manage credits as part of CDA trustee access and payment methods
The credits are usable at physical and online merchants that accept PayNow UEN QR and NETS QR payments, with the trustees managing the credits through the LifeSG app. This payment acceptance matters for how parents can practically spend the credits after viewing the balance, since the scheme is tied to those QR payment methods.
