NTUC-OCBC Starter Account
I have had this accounts for many years now. This was one of the first accounts to offer a higher interest rate for less face-to-face interactions. It works perfectly for me as I prefer to use online banking anyway. Given that, it is not a trade-off and I am in fact enjoying a higher interest rate as a bonus. The sign up was fuss free and it has been a trusted yet simple savings account for me through the many years that I have used it. While the customer service has always been helpful and friendly, one suggestion is to also provide 24/7 customer service, perhaps via a chatbot function that will increase interactions without added costs, so that we can still enjoy better than average interest rates.
