Free Money! - Update 1

Since the last post, there were updates to some of the short-term cash options.

Standard Chartered E-Saver

The new promotion lasts from 1 December 2017 to 31 January 2018, and surprise surprise, the Bonus Interest rate is now raised to 1%, from the previous 0.95%.

Here is the new table:

The newest issue of the Singapore Savings Bonds is out, and the 1st year rate is slightly higher at 1.32% vs December 2017's 1.26%.




Here is a quick comparison:


The Jan 2018 issue rates are higher from Year 1 to Year 3, is the same at Year 4, and are lower from Year 5 onward. If you are looking for a short term place to stash your cash, this may not be a concern.


None of the above should be taken as investment advice. Do your own due diligence
