I'm a student & working part time. I try to save 20% of pay each month. Is scb jumpstart a good account to credit my salary and for savings? Is it easy to transfer to other bank accounts such as POSB?

Can consider Sif, RHB, CIMB, OCBC 360, OCBC FRANK, SingLife or Trust Bank.

Hey Anon, the SCB Jumpstart account is the best savings account for youngsters in my opinion as it offers 2% interest p.a with no other conditions such as salary crediting and minimum deposit/balance/spending. It works like any other bank and is also insured under the SDIC for deposits up to $75k. I've been using it since it was introduced and I have no complains nor regrets. It is both a good account for your salary and savings as well as easy to transfer funds to other banks.

On a personal note, I've moved all of my funds over to JumpStart from DBS (which I've been using for many years) and it is now my main account on a daily basis for my expenses etc. The iBanking platform, both website and mobile is also very user-friendly, looks aesthetically pleasing and gets the job done! Honestly, I think it is on par or maybe even better than DBS.

SCB Jumpstart is a good account for your situation. It should come with internet banking, if not you should request for it, and performing transaction into other bank account's shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, SCB jumpstart is a high yield saving account at 2%pa, and its easy to transfer to any banks in Singapore as long as you have the online banking account.
