Use MOE’s Student Finance System for the current Edusave balance, transaction history and account actions. Parents or guardians should sign in through the role appropriate to them; the portal only displays services available for that person and student.
For step-by-step instructions, open the official Student Finance System parent/guardian guide. Its Edusave section explains where to see annual contributions or top-ups, manage a standing order, authorise withdrawals and understand the later transfer to a Post-Secondary Education Account.
Check the balance and the specific school request before authorising anything. An Edusave account is for approved educational uses; a visible balance does not mean every school activity or fee can be paid from it. Ask the school which programme, amount and authorisation method applies.

What does the Edusave balance tell me?
The SFS guide lets eligible users check a current balance and up-to-date transaction history, and download an annual statement. That is more reliable than an old screenshot or remembered amount. Annual contributions and any government top-ups should be read from the current account record and the official scheme page because policy and credited amounts can change.
A balance is not the same as cash available for unrestricted spending. The proposed charge must be an approved use and processed through the permitted route. This is why the school’s notice and the official account record should be read together.
Standing order and one-off authorisation are different
A standing order can allow an MOE-funded school to make deductions for approved fees and charges. Other situations may require the parent or account holder to view and authorise a withdrawal. The SFS screen and user guide show which action applies; do not assume that signing one school form authorises every future expense.
Edusave and PSEA are also different accounts. Edusave supports eligible school-stage uses, while PSEA supports approved post-secondary education uses. For the later account and withdrawal routes, use the PSEA source guide.
A quick check before approving a deduction
- Match the student name and school to the notice.
- Confirm the programme title, amount and payment deadline.
- Ask whether the charge is an approved Edusave use.
- Check whether a standing order already covers it.
- Read the transaction history after processing and keep the notice.
If the displayed account or transaction looks wrong, use the support instructions shown in SFS and contact the school about its own request. Avoid sharing Singpass credentials or acting on payment links from unofficial messages.
What should I do now?
Sign in to SFS, note the balance and relevant transaction, then open the school’s latest notice. Complete only the standing-order or withdrawal action requested through the official system. Families needing broader help with school costs should also check the MOE financial assistance source guide; Edusave and financial assistance solve different parts of the cost question.
