Navigator, our custodian, will initiate payment by requesting your bank to debit your account after receiving the completed form. It takes up to 8 weeks to set it up. Once set up, GIRO deductions take up to five working days, and are not available for ad hoc investments. They are only used for regular savings plans (RSPs).

You will need to first open an account with us before you can start a VAP program.
First you'll have to create the payment source by placing an online Invest order and make payment for one of the three cash management funds below:

• Fullerton SGD Cash Fund A
  
• Philip Money Market Fund
  
• Lion Global Money Market Fund
  

Unlike RSP, VAP will deduct money from one of these funds (not by GIRO or any other form of payment). VAP investments are performed by switching from the Cash Fund. Note that funds 1 and 2 in the list above provide T+1 switching.
Once you can see the Cash Fund in your portfolio statement after investing, you should then proceed to set up VAP. Do this by going to fund finder to select the unit trusts you want the VAP to invest into.
