MAS integrates CDP to SGFinDex database

DBS’s NAV Planner also benefits from this move. 

The Monetary Authority of Singapore announced the second phase of the Singapore Financial Data Exchange (SGFinDex), in which the Central Depository (CDP) will be integrated into the database. 

Originally released on 7 December 2020, the SGFinDex will now allow individuals to view their investment holdings at the CDP as part of their consolidated financial position via participating banks’ financial planning applications and MyMoneySense. Collaborations with CDP also include the Singapore Exchange, the Association of Banks in Singapore, and other participating banks. 

Assistant Managing Director (Capital Markets) Lim Tuang Lee stated that the inclusion of CDP data would provide Singaporeans with a holistic view of their financial portfolio. 

DBS, one of the banks partnered with MAS, has also spoken about CDP’s integration into the SGFinDex would affect DBS NAV Planner. Customers will be able to view their investments automatically by asset class. 

Evy Wee, Head of Financial Planning, Investments and Insurance Solutions, DBS Bank, also said that this data is core to financial and retirement planning. The partnership between DBS and MAS is also expected to provide interest payment information of each customer’s Singapore Savings Bonds via DBS NAV Planner.

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.
