— Why Wira
What You Get That Most Financial Education Cannot Offer
Independence, small groups, Singapore-specific content, and a room with no product being sold. These are not small differences.

Six Reasons Adults Choose Wira
No Commission, No Products
Every other provider of financial guidance in Singapore has a product somewhere in the background. Wira does not. The fee is the fee.
Groups Capped at Twelve
You are not in a webinar with three hundred people. The facilitator knows your name. Your questions are heard and addressed, not added to a FAQ document.
Singapore Through and Through
CPF, SRS, MediShield Life, Singapore Savings Bonds — the curriculum is built around the instruments that matter to Singapore households, not borrowed from elsewhere.
Notes That Are Yours to Keep
Worksheets and annotated notes from every session belong to the participant. They are specific to your own household and do not expire at the end of the programme.
Study at a Considered Pace
Sessions are spaced to allow reflection between them. There is no pressure to absorb everything in an afternoon or to make a decision before the month's end.
Facilitators with Depth
Each facilitator has at least ten years of direct experience with Singapore financial instruments — not a trainer who read the same slides last week.
— Expertise
Facilitators Who Have Worked the Singapore Market
Wira's facilitators have spent their careers inside Singapore's financial landscape — in retirement planning, insurance, and investment — before moving entirely into education. They are not generalists who read from prepared slides. They have sat across the table from households working through the same questions that participants bring to Wira's sessions.
- Minimum ten years of Singapore market experience per facilitator
- Relevant professional qualifications held and current
- No facilitator holds a product sales licence

— What the process looks like
- 1. Send us a note about your household's situation and what you want to understand.
- 2. We suggest a programme that fits — honestly, without upselling.
- 3. You attend sessions at the Tras Street premises, one per week or fortnight.
- 4. You leave with annotated worksheets or a bound field study specific to your household.
— Process
A Straightforward Path from Enquiry to Understanding
There is no diagnostic questionnaire that routes you to the most expensive product. There is no free session that turns into a sales consultation. The process begins with your questions and ends with a clearer picture of your own finances.
— Value
Pricing That Reflects What You Actually Receive
Wira's programme fees cover everything: sessions, materials, printed worksheets and any annotated document produced. There are no membership fees, no follow-on consultation charges and no referral products waiting at the end of the programme.
The Private Field Study fee of SGD 780 covers the household — so a couple or family studying together pays one fee, not two.
— Programme fees
- Field Notes on Household Finance SGD 250
- The Annotated Investor SGD 460
- The Private Field Study SGD 780
All fees include materials and annotated notes. No additional charges.

— What Sets Us Apart
Things Wira Offers That Are Not Common
The Bound Field Study
Participants in the Private Field Study receive a bound, annotated document covering their household's full financial picture — cash flow, protection, investments and legacy. This is not a generic report template; it is written around their specific situation and signed by the facilitator.
The Annotated Worksheet System
Every group session produces a printed worksheet that participants fill in with their own figures during the session. The worksheet has margin labels explaining each item in plain language. Participants leave with a genuine artefact of their own thinking, not a handout.
A Commitment in Writing
Wira's enrolment confirmation includes a written statement that no financial product will be offered, recommended or sold to the participant at any point during or after the programme. This is given to every participant before the first session.
Curriculum Reviewed Each Year
CPF rules change. Savings Bonds rates change. MediShield coverage changes. Wira reviews programme content annually against current MAS and CPF Board publications so that what participants learn reflects the Singapore of today, not several years ago.
