How to Choose

  • Base vs. Bonus Rate: Evaluate how much effort you’re willing to put in to unlock bonus interest. Some accounts require salary credit, card spend, or insurance purchases.
  • Balance Limits: Most accounts cap bonus interest at S$100,000. If you have larger savings, consider splitting across multiple accounts.
  • Monthly Conditions: Check minimum salary credit, card spend thresholds, or number of transactions needed. Missing even one condition can reduce your rate significantly.
  • Fees and Charges: While most accounts listed have no monthly fees, some may charge for fall-below fees or early closure. Read the fine print.
  • Integration with Other Products: If you already use a bank’s credit card, investment platform, or insurance, their savings account may offer higher combined rates.
  • Digital Experience: Consider app usability, transfer limits, and customer service. Digital-only banks like Trust offer convenience but limited physical support.
