Choose by what you need

First distinguish an individual bid from a corporate or motor-trader bid. LTA’s instructions identify DBS/POSB ATMs for individuals and participating-bank internet services for corporate account holders. DBS publishes its corporate COE-bidding service; UOB describes a service for motor traders and corporate customers requiring its SGD current account and service enrolment. LTA’s results page is information, not a paid bidding agent. Check the correct bidder identity, selected account, deadline and bank charges before arranging access. This guide does not place a bid, predict a premium or recommend a borrowing commitment.
