What bank accounts and credit cards would be suitable for graduate students receiving stipends instead of salaries to earn cashback/rebates?

Since stipends are not credited as GIRO - SAL, is it possible to still apply for credit cards? --- A sad PhD student trying to manage his financials

Try UOB One account, it requires just 3 GIRO payments and CC spend which is quite manageable.

Tip: Donate to 3 charities for the 3 GIRO payment. Get cashback + do a good deed + tax relief ( 1 dollar donated = 2.5 dollars tax relief).

Best deal in the market so far ;)

Will PhD stipends be considered as salary crediting for DBS Multiplier Account (or any other similar accounts)? Also, will PhD's student status qualify them for credit cards?

Which Savings Account / Credit Card combination will you guys recommend for a fresh graduate starting work in a month? Salary will be > $2k and will spend around $500/mth. Can’t decide between DBS, OCBC and UOB. Would love to get some suggestions!

I’m a fresh graduate who’s starting work in August. How should I start investing and which bank accounts are good for depositing my salary in? What kind of credit cards do you recommend?

How do I increase my interest rate in the DBS multiplier account? I have credited my salary and linked a credit card to this DBS account. What else can I do to earn more interest rates? Thank you!?

Is it possible to split salary to credit different bank accounts to maximise interest earned (avoiding caps) whilst fulfilling the salary credit requirement?
