Security Advisory

Singapura Finance is dedicated to providing our customers with a secure financial service environment. We use advanced security software and technology to protect and safeguard your accounts and transactions. We will not call you or send you any unsolicited email/SMSes asking for your banking credentials, Password, OTP and/or Mobile PIN. Measures put in place to provide our customers with a safe banking environment includes:

  • Secured login using Two-Factors Authentication (2FA) and/or Touch/Face ID
  • Multi-Factor Authentication for secured transactions. All transactions require a Mobile PIN and/or soft token PIN known only to you
  • Geo-Fencing. As the majority of hacking comes from overseas based hackers, we have disabled access to SFL iBIZ and SFL Go from any foreign domain. This will reduce the opportunity for hackers to take control of your account
  • Limited Transaction during after office hours. Transactions created after office hours are put on hold and will only be processed the next business day giving you time to review or cancel unauthorised transactions

Notwithstanding all the security measures, if you suspect you have been a victim of fraud or notice any suspicious and fraudulent transactions, please call our Customer Service Hotline at 6880 0668 (9 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. during office hours) to freeze all transactions.

Example of some past scams perpetuated by scammers:

Job Recruitment Scams

Singapura Finance do not do recruitment using messaging apps or via social media. We also do not have job openings in international markets except Singapore. If you receive any unsolicited job offer via messaging apps or see any job advertisement purporting to be from us on any job portal that ask you to contact them via messaging app or call an international phone number, it is likely to be a scam. If in doubt, please call our Human Resource department.

Hoax Phone Calls/Foreign Branches

The callers pretend to be from Singapura Finance asking customers to deposit money into Singapura Finance’s "branch" in a foreign country. Singapura Finance do not have any branch overseas and only maintained branches in Singapore. Singapura Finance will also not make cold calls soliciting for deposits. If in doubt, please call our Customer Service Hotline.

SMS Scam

Scammers use unsolicited messages sent via the messaging platform to members of the public purportedly from Singapura Finance offering loans or finance assistance.
Singapura Finance will not send you any unsolicited emails or SMSes of such nature without obtaining your prior consent. If you receive any such messages, kindly disregard them.

Example of a SCAM SMS:

Always type our official web address into your web browser to ensure that you are at the correct official website.
