I currently have $10,000 in savings that I'm storing in my DBS Multiplier account as "reserves". Open to investing around $3k in equities, but the rest will be an "emergency buffer".

Was planning to just keep them in DBS Multiplier to accumulate and grow wealth. I'm currently getting around 1.55%-1.85% in interest for my Multiplier account. Was wondering if it makes more sense to put $5-6k of these reserves in SSB instead, since even the 1st year interest is already higher than my Multiplier's?
