SFA Payment Modes
GIRO
General Information
All transactions with SFA will be deducted from the approved GIRO account. GIRO deduction from your designated bank account will be made every Friday for the previous week’s transactions. If the deduction falls on a public holiday, the deduction will be made on the next working day. Please ensure that you maintain sufficient balance in your bank account to facilitate the deduction. If the GIRO deduction is not successful, a failed GIRO notice will be sent to you.
A monthly GIRO statement consolidating the list of successful GIRO deductions will be sent to you in the following month.
DBS/POSB iBanking Customers
If you have an internet banking account with DBS/POSB, you can submit the application online directly to the bank by accessing your internet banking website. Please indicate your SFA customer reference number (UEN/NRIC/FIN) under the [Bill Reference] field when applying for GIRO.

e-GIRO Statement
We strongly encourage GIRO customers to sign up for e-GIRO statements to receive your GIRO statement electronically. By signing up for e-GIRO statements, you will be able to receive your GIRO statement earlier, within 3 working days from the last GIRO deduction of the month. What’s more, you can also help to save the environment by reducing paper consumption.
