What is a CSN

Your CSN is a unique identifier for your CPF contributions. It is needed for transactions with the CPF Board. Your Unique Entity Number (UEN) or NRIC/FIN (if you’re trading under your own name) won’t be enough on its own.

 

Don’t have a CSN?

  • Apply on our CPF website using your Singpass.
  • When approved, we’ll inform you by email.

Keeping your particulars up-to-date

When are CPF contributions due
false

The due date for CPF contributions is on the last day of the calendar month. Enforcement action would be taken against employers who fail to pay by the 14th of the following month (or the next working day if the 14th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Public Holiday). This includes imposing late payment interest charged at 1.5% per month, commencing from the first day after the due date.

There are two convenient ways to submit your CPF contributions: 

CPF EZPay and CPF EZPay Mobile.

CPF EZPay, CPF EZPay Mobile and One-Stop Payroll
