Which is a better option? Monthly deposit in POSB SAYE vs standard chartered jumpstart account?
Hello, I have been depositing $300/month into POSB SAYE account for 14 months amounting to $4539.19 including interest. However, I have recently opened a jumpstart account in jan with $10000 inside.
Which would be a better option? To continue a monthly deposit in the SAYE account until month 24 or put the lump sum of $4539.19 into the jumpstart account with the same monthly deposit?

Definitely feel that the standard chartered jumpstart account is better.
the POSB SAYE locks up your money for the 24 months, unless you want this "lock-up" feature (loses liquidity), I do not think it is worth it.
Unless, you have more than $20k that you can put in your standard chartered account, no point having POSB SAYE account :)

Hey Anon, I believe it would make more sense to use the Standard Chartered Jumpstart account since you'll be able to enjoy 2% interest p.a which will be credited every month as opposed to POSB SAYE where you'll only be able to enjoy a one-time off 2% interest on the accumulated deposits after 2 years. Besides, you get the flexibility instead of having to lock up the funds in SAYE for 2 years.
