    Good when it started. Then they started to change the terms and conditions for the bonus interest and it is no longer attractive. Will come back if it is better than their competitors

    [Salary Crediting] Used bonus saver account to earn the bonus interest on my savings. Need to month keep track of my expenditure and bill payment. With the effort put in, i managed to get 2.13% per annum interest on my savings. Not bad

    Great account to boost the interest for your savings at 0 risk. Some effort required though to track the expenses, bill payment. [Interest]

    This saving account is no longer competitive with all their changes and other banks are offering better rates. Silly me signed for some 15 year long endowment for additional interest rates some 5 years ago, and totally regretting it now.

    Used to be a pretty decent account, until they changed the TNC and made it more difficult for higher interest (this was sometime back). As compared to other local bank offerings, this account perks are not very competitive.

I would recommend that you take a look at what categories/criteria you are able to fulfil before making a decision. DBS Multiplier gives 1.55% interest when you credit your salary and spend any amount (no min, only 1 transaction per calendar month) on your credit card each month Other criteria to increase your interest would be investment (you can read up on the SSB ladder hack or Invest saver (eligible for first 12months only)), home loan and insurance. Also the amount transacted per month also increase your interest rate (the more you transacted through DBS, the higher the interest) But if you spend more on credit card ($500) a month, SCB would be a better choice (1.78% interest) Other criteria to increase your interest would be Paying bills of at least $50 each, investing min 30k or insurance (eligible for first 12 months only). You can also look at other high interest savings accounts such as UOB ONE (no salary credit required), OCBC 360 etc before deciding. https://blog.seedly.sg/best-savings-accounts-singapore/ Personally, I have UOB ONE and DBS Multiplier accounts to complement each other.
