[Interest] The Interest for the DBS Multiplier Account is considered to be one of the highest in the market at 0.40% p.a. if you are only using DBS PayLah! Retail Spend and not crediting salary with the bank. (29 Years Old and Below) If you are crediting your salary and using DBS PayLah! Retail Spend, the Interest Rates goes higher at 0.55% p.a. when your total eligible transactions is more or equal to S$500 per month. If you are holding a DBS Credit Card, DBS Home Loan or making Investments with DBS, the Interest Rates can go even higher. Interest Rates are at the point of writing and subjected to change. [Salary Crediting] Easy Crediting just like any other Bank in Singapore. Just provide your Bank Details and Account Number. [Application Process] Smooth Application Process through DBS/POSB I-Banking. A few clicks and verification of your personal details and you are done.0

Solid account if you are earning a regular wage and perform [Salary Crediting] to the account (assuming your finance team does so with the right transaction code). It provides decent interest rates and is relatively [Fuss Free] - no jumping through hoops of paying XXX bills, minimum spending of XXX amount, etc. [Online Banking] is a real convenience. DBS is not a bank any longer - they are a technology giant, which happens to be in the banking space. It's rather similar to Amazon, who's not really just an e-commerce site, but also a technology giant. [Customer Service] is decent, although the automated responses still need a ton of work. The AI really needs to be trained better.0

Fuss free way to earn more interest if you already have your salary credited into DBS/POSB account and are a regular user of their credit card. Just need to convert the normal savings account to multiplier account and make sure you do not fall below minimum account balance.0

Updated Interest Rates for DBS/POSB Multiplier Account 2022
How does the DBS/POSB Multiplier Work?
In order to start earning interest with your DBS/POSB Multiplier account, you'll need to first credit your salary or dividends regularly.
Next, you'll need to make transactions in at least one or more categories, namely:
- Credit Card Spend: eligible transactions only
- Home Loan Instalments: monthly instalments both cash and CPF included
- Insurance: selected regular premium policies
- Investments: new DBS Invest-Saver, monthly contribution of Invest-Saver plan for Unit Trusts or ETFs
The amount of interest you can get will depend on how many categories you fulfil as well as the amount transacted.
Obviously, the more you spend and the more categories you hit will mean that you'll get more to earn more interest.
However, this is NOT a legit excuse for you to be spending more than your budget tho...
1. When you fulfil the income category + 1 transaction category, for the 1st S$25,000
Monthly transactions and relative bonus interest
- 0.05% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions below S$2,000
- 0.90% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of S$2,000 to S$2,499
- 0.90% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of S$2,500 to S$4,999
- 1.00% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of S$5,000 to S$14,999
- 1.00% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of S$15,000 to S$29,999
- 1.10% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of above S$30,000
Balance cap: bonus interest only applies to the first S$25,000
2. Fulfil income category + 2 transaction categories, for the 1st S$50,000
Monthly transactions and relative bonus interest
- 0.05% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions below S$2,000
- 1.20% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of S$2,000 to S$2,499

- 2.50% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of above S$30,000
Balance cap: bonus interest only applies to the first S$50,000
3. Fulfil income category + fulfil 3 transaction categories, for the next S$50,000
Monthly transactions and relative bonus interest
- 0.05% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions below S$2,000
- 2.00% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of S$2,000 to S$2,499
- 2.20% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of S$2,500 to S$4,999
- 2.40% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of S$5,000 to S$14,999

- 3.50% p.a. bonus for monthly transactions of above S$30,000
Balance cap: bonus interest only applies to the next S$50,000
You'll notice that there are various balance caps for the different categories.
And that's basically DBS telling you that the only way to get more interest is to unlock more categories by spending more on your credit card, taking a home loan with DBS, buying an insurance policy or by investing actively with them.
How to maximise the interest rate for DBS/POSB Multiplier Account?
Erm... by spending a lot in a LOT of categories?
If you've got your entire financial life with DBS, then sure.
This should come pretty easy since the bonus interest rate per annum applies if you transact in a wide range of categories and can transact in large amounts too.
It's not totally unimaginable to have your monthly salary credited, a home loan with the bank, maybe even a couple of insurance policies and some investments with DBS too.
Overall, it's always more ideal to transact in more than 1 category as within the same band of amounts transacted, for eg. ≥S$2,000 to <S$2,500, the bonus rates for spending in 2 categories is almost double that of the bonus interest if you just clocked 1 category.
So wherever possible, try to optimise your transactions so that you can clock more than 1 category.

Is It Still Worth Opening A DBS/POSB Multiplier Account?
Given this current low-interest-rate environment, it's a given that most banks will revise their interest rates over time.
If you currently have a DBS/POSB Multiplier account, switching to another high-interest savings account doesn't necessarily guarantee that the new bank you're with won't revise their interest rates too.
Think about it, it'll be a huge hassle for you to have to move all of your accounts again right?
If you don't have a DBS/POSB Multiplier account yet and are considering...
It's not a bad idea if you are already using most of DBS' financial services because you'll definitely be able to easily hit the categories and required transaction amounts.
Otherwise, make sure you do a proper comparison between the various high-interest savings accounts available before committing to one!
