MoneyOwl wins at Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Awards 2026

The company’s planners help Singaporeans assess affordability and navigate home-buying decisions with clarity.

MoneyOwl won Online Services - Financial Services in the Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Awards 2026 for its MoneyOwl’s Digital Tools & Services, which support users through key financial milestones such as purchasing a home.

Buying a flat in Singapore can be complex, especially for first-time buyers and young families. To address this, the company developed the HDB BTO Planner and HDB Resale Planner, alongside the Life Stages Housing Checklist. These tools guide users from eligibility checks to final decision-making. 

The MoneyOwl website includes housing calculators that offer a quick way to estimate affordability. With a few inputs such as age, income, CPF savings, and home ownership status, users receive indicative figures on eligible grants, loan amounts, and the maximum home price based on the Total Debt Servicing Ratio. This allows users to gain clarity without navigating complex financial details.

For those who require deeper insights, the planners provide more detailed analysis, including loan type recommendations and loan quantum estimates. They also guide users through the steps of either the build-to-order or resale process through the Housing Checklist, helping them align housing decisions with long-term financial planning.

The Life Stages Housing Checklist complements these tools by offering a structured view of the home-buying journey. It connects each step, from ownership application, with considerations such as savings and retirement planning, giving users a clearer understanding of how housing fits into their overall financial position.

These tools saw early adoption, with over thousands of uses recorded within the first three days of launch. This reflects demand for accessible and easy-to-use financial planning solutions that reduce the need for immediate advisory support.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
