Hi!

I personally think to beat inflation, one should start investing. There are many ways to do so now but if you are a beginner, I suggest investing with a robo-advisor. There are plenty in the market to choose from such as StashAway, AutoWealth, EndowUS etc. If you are looking to start small, consider investing with StashAway since they do not have a minimum investment sum.

You may consider StashAway Simple, there cash management account that can earn you about 1.9% interest rates (not guaranteed) but it is definitely higher than what the bank is offering.

Other alternatives include Singlife (2.5% interest rates) or seeking advice from a finanical advisor and see if you are comfortable buying a savings plan.
