Switching from the Youth Leap Account to the 2 Round of the Youth Future Savings Plan: Why You Should Not Close Your Existing Account First and the Correct Procedure
If you currently hold a Youth Leap Account, you should not close it before applying for the 2 round of the Youth Future Savings Plan. As of 2026-09-28, the Financial Services Commission has outlined the following sequence: apply for the Youth Future Savings Plan and undergo eligibility screening → receive confirmation of eligibility → open a Youth Future Savings Plan account → complete a special early termination of the Youth Leap Account. Switching from the Youth Leap Account is once again permitted during the 2 recruitment round of the Youth Future Savings Plan.
