Thereafter, deploy to other high interest saving bank, etc Citi Maxigain which has good interest rate under current rising sibor environment? The key is future interest rate will be unknown. I don't want to end up trying to win big in the beginning & lose out more eventually.

Citi maxigain did reduced from 80% of SIBOR to 70% of SIBOR because interest rate is rising. So they would probably do similar things if interest rate continues to go up and would not be a huge different. Personally if i have at least 70k, i would go for maxigain because they are compound interest unlike SSBs which are simple interest. You have to make your own decision.
