If you are using FAST Transfer or PayNow (UEN) to fund your FSMOne account, this may concern you!

Starting from 15 October 2025, banks will implement new anti-fraud measures that could delay your top-up by up to 24 hours if you are using FAST Transfer or Paynow (UEN). This safeguard lets banks withhold funds temporarily, potentially affecting when they are reflected in your FSMOne account.


Methods to Top-up your FSMOne Account (SGD$)

Before 15 Oct 2025

On/after 15 Oct 2025

Paynow (UEN)

Your transfer may be delayed if you transfer more than 50% of your bank account balance and if your bank account balance exceeds S$50,000.

FAST Transfer

Internet Bill Payment*

Cheque/Cashier’s Order

*It takes 1 business day for us to receive your funds

Anticipating that this might affect FSMOne investors, we recommend using the eGIRO services for immediate top-ups into your SGD Cash Account and/or SGD Auto-sweep Account.

Since April 2022, FSMOne has made eGIRO services available for all our investors without fees! There is no need to sign on physical GIRO forms and wait weeks for approval. The whole process can now be completed online and approved within 15 mins!
