I suggest that you also apply for internet access so that you can view your share holdings via the internet and also DCS (Direct Crediting Services). DCS will enable the CDP to directly credit any dividend payments or cash returns by the companies (capital reduction through cancellation of shares) you have invested into your Bank account directly specified by you. Nothing beats getting Ang Pow from the companies you are investing in. If you have shares bought using CPF, your proceeds will be directly credited into your CPF Investment account.
